Hi all,
This ? plant/weed is spreading very fast in my rocky border, tricky to get out as well. any idea what it is and how to get rid?
As always, thanks.

When I lived in Algeria this was known as Ice Plant but I don't know if that is a correct name
A Sedum, I think.
I know which plant you mean but I don't think this is it, the leaves are much more rubbery and in over a year I have never seen a flower on it. It keeps popping up all over the place and spreads very fast, roots are very strong and hard to get out too.
Sorry Landgirl, thte pervious comment referred to Ice plant.
I can see what you mean about sedum, but no flowers ever?
oops, previous.
Freudian slip DD
It does look like a succulent of some kind. Sedum I'd reckon too
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I thought it was a sedum when I first noticed them last year but they have never flowered, what looks like a flower bud just seems to turn into another leaf and it has managed to get everywhere.
Might help populate my very sparse rockery if that is what it is, but I would like a little flower or two.
I thought 'Sedum' when I first looked at the photo. It's preferable to herb robert or ground elder as ground cover but I don't know why it's not flowering.
I don't think that's sedum
No better idea at the moment though
In the sticks near Peterborough
It almost looks like the succulant leaves of the house plant referred to as the 'money plant' but in a prostrate form. No idea what it is though.
