Yesterday we were in Luss on the edge of Loch Lomond. In front of one
cottage was a bed of beautiful wee blue flowers which I think I have
identified as the above. It was low growing and spread evenly over the bed
so I assume is good ground cover. I have a border in which mint and
dandelions proliferate. Would these flowers help keep them down, or would I
still be continually weeding around them?

Mint will grow straight through it. If you remove all of the
established dandelions, it will help to prevent them reestablishing,
but you will still have to weed some of them out.
