    Euphorbia cyparissias (might have spelled the second bit wrong) also rather invasive

    Right he is going. Just found another patch. Is pulling it up another?

    I think it's one of those plants that's perfect for informal little wild-ish corners - it covers bare patches of soil - if it spreads where you don't want it then just pull it up.

    Oh I could find him another home when he could be more use.

    If you grow it hard; dry soil, sun, it colours up nicely in autumn

    Don't let it anywhere near a rockeryimage or the sort of plants that grow on rockeries.
