thanks to all for input. I'll be taking a look at some pics on line
to see how these compare...
I've previous experience of Euphorbia and I remember it became
rampant. I think it might have to go.

Caper spurge is a biennial (or at least it is in Yorkshire). Once it
flowers, it dies.

There are other *much* more beautiful and interesting forms such as
E.mellifera, which has a lovely scent

but if you think the others are 'rampant' ....!!!

And it self-seeds everywhere.
