Yeah weeds are so horrible and so ugly! Joking. One of my favourite outlaws is the Red Dead-nettle or Purple Archangel (Lamium purpurea) A couple of clusters survived until the drought in April so I'll be looking out for them next year and help a little if necessary. Not high growing, so easily swamped and bullied. A pic I took before their demise.
