  One of the few weeds that I pull out of my grass! The leaves spread flat on the ground to stop anything else from growing nearby.

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  and to avoid the mower blades, of course.

  Agree. A lovely colour but so invasive.

  Make sure you take out the flowering stems before they seed.

  Thankyou everyone, it's so pretty but obviously a nuisance!
