Please can anyone help with the i.d. of this plant? Apparently it has small yellow flowers and tends to spread. Thanks in advance image (I have a couple of other photos if required).

    I would say "tends to spread" is the understatement of the year ???

    I have been spraying Roundup on a patch of this for 10 years and still it comes up. It definitely spreads.

    Oh dear image I've been given them to sell at a charity plant sale - perhaps I'd better put a warning on them!

    That's true ! image

    No warning - sell the lot so you don't feel sorry for them and plant them at home.  

    I wa sgiven some of these once and loathed the harsh yellow against the purple tho I did like the foliage. Luckily, it was wiped out by one of the more serious Belgian winters.
