Plant ID help please.

Post by chas » 16 May 2016, 20:11

Having moved house last year we now find we've got plants coming up after trying to "decontaminate" the borders, but no idea what some of them are.
Can anyone identify this plant for me ?

Thanks in advance.

can be pretty invasive if left unattended..........is it a weed? well a weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place. :think:

Cheers Jock, you're a star.
Damned if I could find it, went bog eyed trying.
Another one for the bin which incidentally is emptied every fortnight but filled again in a day.
Many thanks.
