Well it was still in flower last week when it was mown off by some
zealous council worker cutting the grass despite it being up against the
wall.
I will have to watch to see when it comes into flower this winter.

The council worker obviously knew what he was doing. I'd have done the
same thing if it were me! Terrible stuff; absolute menace. My mother's
garden is infested with it; I shall spray as much of it as I can with
glyphosate in a week or two when it's stopped flowering.


I agree, it's a pest. Pretty when in flower but a menace when it
spreads. I also managed to bring it from my mother's garden with a
white bluebell, and now it is multiplying.
Want any?
