    Alkanet maybe? I'm not familiar with it myself but have seen it ID'd on here before...

    Not sure what is best way to get rid, but I'm sure someone will be alongimage

    Ive just searched alkanet on here and it comes up with loads of past posts which might be helpful in the meantime...

    Victoria is correct, it is Alkanet.

    Yes it's green alkanet, Pentaglossis sempervirens. It you don't want it don't let it seed.

    They're very deep rooted and if you leave any behind it grows again. If you're into chemicals, cut it right back, wait for it to regrow a good lot of leaves and use a systemic weedkiller
