It's taking over a corner of my garden and seems to spread by runners.

    It looks like a creeping potentilla and has buttercup type flowers. I would take it out as it can be a bit rampant.

    Cinquefoil. Runs sideways and sends down long thin black taproots that must be dug up if you don't want it to grow back.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Drives me crazy, it’s one rung down from Bindweed in my garden!
