Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon' highly invasive irradicate while you still
can

This really alarmed me so I've done as you suggested. It appears to
grow like lily of the valley on an array of connective spaghetti. I
did my best to pull the network out but I know there must be quite a
bit left probably round roots of neighbouring shrubs etc.

I suppose it could re-appear but, if re-attacked, with a diminished
presence each spring?

Unless you really hate it, just keep it under control. Watch that
Vinca, though....... ;-))

You know what? I'm going to remove the vinca as well. That's 2 pots
@ £7.99 down the drain. A lesson learnt.

Unless I've gotten confused, I don't think that you have Vinca minor
alba; there have been three or four identifications of your first
photograph as Lonicera (pileata or nitida). Vinca minor alba has a
creeping habit, while your photograph appears to show a stiff-branched
plant. (If you paid £7.99 for pots how is it that you need
identifications?)
