Invader in the strawberry patch - friend or foe

Biglad · 2021-12-17 16:48:10

Just discovered that whatever this dead plant was, it had sent out half a dozen scouts, which were starting to establish around 50-60cms from the host. I didn't like the look of it and it was colonising my sacred strawberry patch so I've pulled it all out. Can anyone identify?

It's the one with the common name Great Willowherb that sends out those runners. Seems to prefer the damp parts of my garden, I often find those roots under the lining around my pond.

Wearside, England.
