Its popping up all over the garden. Might be seedlings from neighbouring trees or weeds. feels like something I need to keep on top of but would like to know what I'm dealing with.
Thanks for any suggestions. These photo's are in a shady spot but its also growing over the other side and looking like it coming under the neighbours fence in one place.

    I think it might be Enchanter's Nightshade or Circaea lutetiana.  I think it's a pretty wildflower but I know it can be invasive in heavy soils.  In my chalky garden, it's no problem.

    Thanks, just looked that up on the RHS website and agree it does look like that.

    I can certainly vouch for it's invasive nature.

    Yes, just noticed it in a couple of neighbours gardens when walking the dog. Certainly looks invasive. Think I'll spray it where I can and dig up where I can't. I'll bet its one of those where a root fragment can become a new plant?
