    Oh dear, @BB3, sounds like yours is a particularly, awkward specimen. Mine isn’t quite as tenacious or cunning

      Do you think it would cope with dry sandy soil near a conifer @ViewAhead if well watered until established? Hardy geraniums and Hakonechloa, my usual remedies, don't like it there!

      @Plantminded, I don't have sandy soil, but I'd say it is worth a try! I've found it will grow under most things and it copes in dry raised beds. :)

          Thank you @ViewAhead, nice leaf shape and colour, I’ll add it to my wanted list!

            It is! :) A bit like a strawberry plant. And it looks good all yr, which is a plus.
