I don't know how many remember my trying to find out what this plant was
when I took pictures of it in January

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.

So many council workers seem not to have any intiative at all when it
comes to such things. "Go out and mow" doesn't have to be taken as
"destroy things in flower", surely?!

oh rats, think i pressed reply rather than followup
Anyway sorry if this duplicates my last email but keen to get rid of the
blessed stuff.
Just name the amount David and I can send you parcels of the horrible
thing. It's now endemic to my front garden after only two plants were added.

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?

I have a spot with heavy tree cover that has been taken over by Winter
Heliotrope
It has a stream on one side and a farm track on the other.
