Looks like a Juncus to me woo a common rush which likes boggy ground

 

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

 

And watch it take over!

 

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!

 

Oooh I've got a couple of these in my copse end!! Wondered what they were; glad you posted woo

Palustris - they are very welcome to spread where I've got them

 

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"
