It grows about 3ft to 4ft tall eventually, and is invasive. It has
very deep tuberous roots. It is very hard to kill off, because its
roots go very deep. It is becoming a problem down here in South West
Dorset.

Sorry, I can't remember what the flowers look like. I always attack
it before it ever gets to the flowering stage!

Many thanks,

Jim

This is a good weed site

Thanks; I knew about that site, but it doesn't show anything resembling the
weed in question.
