If you haven't got other plans for that area, I'd suggest letting at least some of it grow for another couple of months until it flowers and you get a firm id.

First glance they look like rosebay, but the massive underground root suggests perhaps not. The pics don't seem to have escaped from GardenBanter, but the description sounded like rosebay. It depends on what he thinks is a massive root. The other possibility is one of the euphorbias - probably Euphorbia griffithsii. It will have no flowerheads at theis time of year, just shoots, and it spreads by thick underground roots. If it is that, it's worth keeping - it has flowers surrounded by showy orange bracts which last for a long time.

Wearing gloves cut a stem and see if it bleeds white milky sap. If it does it's a euphorbia as Kay says.The sap of euphorbias can be a severe skin irritant to many people ; even brushing the leaves does it to me. I wouldn't let children play among euphorbia. But if you can avoid contact, it's a handsome garden plant. Janet |

Most people on uk.rec.gardening can't see your pics - suggest you post them to something like Flickr and post the url. Remember that gardenbanter is only a means of posting to a newsgroup, and not a gardening group in its own right, and most of the knowledgeable gardeners aren't on gardenbanter.

In this area, it is just starting to push its strong red shoots up through local pavements and gardens. It certainly has a massive root system. Although the leaves are not considered narrow, the young red shoots may appear to be so as they unfurl. If it is, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

And therefore botanists have started dropping the willowherb from the name. So yes, when you talk about "rosebay willowherb" you are in fact talking about Rosebay ;-)
