Ooh. Pretty. Some kind of bergenia? (Wild guess. I really don't know.)
It's that chameleon one (can't remember the proper name off the top of my head) it's a thug
Houttuynia cordata. Just googled it.

That looks like Houttuynia cordata 'Chamaeleon and if it is it is an awful thug where suited. Crush a leaf and smell it. Supposed to smell 'fishy'
Ewwww fishy leaves!!! I think I'll be taking these out then?
Haha right they're coming out! How do they spread? Are they on rhizomes?
I'll have a go at that tomorrow then!! Thanks haha
