Invasive plants

Yes that Lysimachia fools you - great colour foliage, but a real weed - took me a few years to get rid of it. Same with Houttuynia. But I've never managed to get Job's tears to grow for me! Convolvulus althaeoides tenuissimus was just right - not too invasive but put itself in interesting places.

 

@CarolineL
In Essex Job's Tears was a well behaved garden plant forming a clump. Down here in Devon it turns into a thug self seeding with gay abandon and it has escaped into the wild locally. I put it down to difference in rainfall and humidity, so I am surprised it doesn't do in Carmethenshire.

 

Thanks @NigelJ but I am in my first season back here in Carmarthenshire - my failures were in Nottinghamshire - cold and windy. I have noticed around my village here that Briza maxima seems to have made its escape.
