Anyone recognise this plant? It's growing between the cracks on my patio. Thought it was a bluebell

    Hi Ginamoya. It looks like a Sedge of some type.

    It’s a sedge, Carex pendula. It can take over, but like most plants can be good in the right place.

    I'd try to remove it from there ... the crown and roots can grow very large and will force your paving apart and cause problems and expense.

    Thank you! I'll try and remove it.  IT's very tough.

    Imagine how much tougher it'll be when it's bigger  :o

    It can be a real pain to get out from paving. It self seeds like crazy. A PITA.
