Flame Creeper

QuestionsFlame Creeper

About 3 to 4 years ago I planted Flame Creeper at the base of a Japonica shrub growing against a north facing wall. Thought it would give colour when the Japonica finished flowering. The creeper has now started to spread deep in the soil and I am afraid it is going to ‘take over’. I think it may be on it’s way into the neighbour’s garden! If I have to lose the Japonica which is there years, so be it. Can you please tell me how I can kill it?
