have noticed a particularly invasive plant cropping up at frightening speed. After lots of research online it appears to be Rosebay Willowherb. It is spreading into my newly created borders at alarming speed and even popping up in the lawn. I am by Pinklepurr

Weed?

! If it is willowherb, and it does look like it, possibly rosebay, there'll be underground runners. Your plant looks like it's from a runner. Look for horizontal roots below the surface by Cat 2

Plant ID Help Please

I have a few of these appearing. The OH seems to think it's a weed, but I've been unable to identify it. Any ideas? Thanks It's definitely one of the Willowherbs, probably Broad-leaved or possibly Rosebay. If you let it seed, it will pop by Rob Stevens

'm beginning to think that the first one is willow herb as muddyfork says, although I'd prefer it to be phlox! she will want the prize. I think the first plant is a willowherb but not the Rosebay willowherb. There are lots of different sorts. Broad leaved by Lorea

"desirable" plants that become invasive monsters

in its original site. That'll be the pennisetum. and the blue comphrey, and the big native comphrey, though that's by seed not root. woodruff, a pink willowherb that I was told wasn't invasive, a white aster, one of the bugles. But not your euphorbia by Verdun

Talkback: Do we really want wildlife in our gardens?

agree with you. In the 60's when I came to this country,london was still full of bombed out buildings. In this chaos, Greater rosebay wiloowherb grew in abundance,and their were butterflies/moths everywhere night and day! But now,no willowherb,hardly any by Wild Soundscape
