We have this rather rampant plant on a bank which is very free-draining and gets a fair amount of sun. It has been relatively well behaved in the 5 years we’ve been here but just recently it’s really got going. If I recall correctly it has small pink flowers in the early summer. Quite distinguishable by its twisted multiple stems.

Can any any of you knowledgeable folks name it so I can look it up please?

Jasmine gone mental.
Maybe Jasminum beesianum.

Jasminum beesianum, gone mental as Hosta says. But that's what it does.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks folks. It has indeed gone mental this year and is starting to crowd out some of the other plants on the bank. I'll look into the care options now I have an ID.

and not in a good way.

I'd have it out if it were mine.

This is what I've got trying to kill off an azalea. I've tried to get it out but it's proving tricky. I cut it right down to give the azalea some breathing space but it has shot up again. Looks like I might lose the azalea too if I get someone in to hoik it out

ID please
