        I agree with Aesculus it looks very much like the Juncus effusus.

            We had one of these appear in our back garden. We thought it was a stray chives plant, so potted it up with the other herbs.

            After chopping some off for use in our potatoes, we soon found out it wasn't chives!

              The trouble is they tend to spread where you do not want them.

                You're right Palustris. Being a bog plant they're everywhere on the island, as common as dandelions! :)

                This Spring was the first time they popped up (for me; as well as some other "interesting" flora). I dug up and replanted those I wanted in a particular place and they have thrived! I'm very happy with that :) One of the bunch even produced flower heads this summer - bonus!

                I'm working on land which is former marsh land, so, it gets incredibly waterlogged in parts. As a novice gardener, I am happy with anything which will set down healthy roots in the spots I would deem "extremely challenging" :heehee:
