    It is pretty invasive at ours in the sense that it pops up everywhere there is gravel or dry soil, but then its roots are pretty much on the surface of the soil so it literally comes up if you tug a leaf. Doesnt really crowd anything else out so I dont overly worry about it

    We have Herb Robert here too ... it's pretty ... it's also easily identifiable so I just pull it up if it spreads into 'the wrong place'.  The seedheads are distinctive and show how it got the family name of 'Cranesbill'  :)

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    It pops up all over my garden. I've been pulling it up for the last 3 years and it's still coming back for more. Get rid.

    I always pull it, myself.

    Just had to pull some out of my guttering.

    It's great, I like it, though OH does tend to surreptitiously pull it ...

    Never seen any butterflies on it. Any specific ones?
