It's a real pain, especially if it gets into a coldframe etc., where the 'exploding' seed pods ensure seeds get into very pot in there. The perennial roots are tough to remove, too.
If anyone finds just one tiny plant of this, don't be tempted by those pretty little purple leaves and cute yellow flowers, it's a wolf in sheeps clothing!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Totally agree @BobTheGardener I think I was initially fooled by their little yellow flowers too as I don’t mind daisies, buttercups and clover in my lawn but not these. I’m even less annoyed by the plantain weed even though they’ve multiplied too.
