    Why get rid!? A simple pruning should sort it out. I sometimes propagate offcuts and offer cuttings for free on Nextdoor or Olio.

  2. Not quite sure what it is, but I guess it’s up to you. If you like the look of them, I’d probably keep them, but maybe try to curb their growth/spread somehow – pull quarter of them out, plant something to compete with them. Gives the slugs something to eat that isn’t your “main flowers” if nothing else 😅

  3. This is nice stuff. In my garden it often flowers when hardly anything else does. And the bumblebees absolutely love it.

    I do pull out some of it when it becomes too much in certain areas.

    I have this. I just trim it back to keep it where I want it, it’s very pretty

  5. I’m very fond of my patch of yellow archangel, I think the leaves are pretty. My other volunteer in that area is stinging nettles, which I pull out. I know they’re good for wildlife but I’m tired of getting stung and we have plenty of woodland nearby.

    Yeah this is Variegated Yellow Archangel, an invasive species not the native Yellow Archangel (which is a very pretty indicator of Ancient Woodland). It’s on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act and it’s illegal to cause it to spread in the wild. So best be careful if you’re pruning it and don’t let it escape into the wild. I see it a lot in places where people have fly tipped garden waste and it spreads into the countryside like mad.
