I have some in my backyard. I wouldn’t mind too much, unless there are other plants nearby (they are considered to be a weed near where i live). They spread super super fast and are a pain in the a— to remove (they kind of self-propagate by making roots on certain parts of the stem)

It's technically an invasive in many areas, but it's also been around long enough that it's naturalized in most areas. As a weed, it's a mild nuisance, easy to pull but it'll keep coming back. Mulch can help but it'll vine over top. It does bloom with a cute little purple flower, and it's an edible species if you're into foraging.

Yes get rid of it immediately they’re an overlapping weed, which takes over your plants and other plants
