ive just googled t an apparently its an orange scented perennial.....doesnt say it takes over ya dam garden..... the garden was terribly overgrown wen i moved in last year its taken a year to fix it all up so this 'plant' has been allowed to run riot it cums up thru paving and evrywhere wether there are other plants around or not even thru hard plants like rose bushes...conifers....it isnt fussy...it is very pretty wen it flowers but runs amok xx am sopleased youve identified it for me ive been searchin for months xxx
This forum rarely fails to ID a plant eventually but we're not so good at getting rid of some of them.
I found some of this today after I'd hacked my way through blackthorn and alder suckers, got OH to take the Allen scythe through some long grass, pulled off loads of goose grass and ivy and there it was, looking very cheerful. Anything else would have been dead.
It loves a bit of moist soil and it's had that for about a year now. It will have been under water twice.
I suppose im just gonna hav to keep pullin it up it was probably a very nice little plant once over hahaha i dont think im gonna manage to contain it its even smothered a spirea or two until i rescued them from it the pic i managed to upload ive pulled that clump out twice in 2 months this is its 3rd attempt from ground level im sure it grows while i sleep hahaha

wooohooo nucutlet youve cracked it hun thats exactly it thankyou....so is it weed or plant and how do i get rid of it?
whether or not it's a weed depends who you ask Debs, I added a link to my previous post.
It's lovely but you've found its downside.
Weeding or weedkillers but I think it infiltrates which makes it difficult
