    You have given us very little to go on. Is it a big area? Is it in the way? Why do you want to get rid of it?



    More to the point, what do you regard as a weed?

    Scrophularia nodosa, Common Figwort, is a native perennial wild flower and often grows in woodland. Sounds perfect for your situation, do keep them!

    Figwort holds a special place in my heart - it's the first wild flower that I learned to identify on Nature Walks from my tiny village primary school when I was five years old image
