Hello and Help!!!

Hello I am new to the forum and already need some help!

I have an odd plant that is taking over my garden. It looks like a perrinal geranium with the smooth green leaves and it has a small yellow flower. The plant seems to quadrouple in size every week. It started on one side of the garden but now its everywhere and it appears quicker than I can pull it up. Ive looked everywhere but cant find any information on what it is?

Help would be really apprciated

 

Hi, is it flowering now??

 

Hi Jules. Welcome. Looks like we have the old creeping buttercup again. We get to discuss this regularly. I'll find you a GC link. But in the meantime have a look at this one:

I was going to suggest lesser celandine. Its all over the rougher edges of my garden at the mo and spreads like mad!

Could be Glen, but if the leaves look like geranium then my 4 pence is on C.B.

 

oo thanks John, its deffinately the creeping butttercup. How do I get rid of it, it seems to like growing up and through other plants. I spent all last weekend digging it out and its all over the place again already!

I refuse to have this debate again. (Don't worry - joke.) My own view is use Roundup or similar. But last time we discussed it about 12 people joined in and there were about 12 different views. One member even left GC over the argument. :D

 

In that case I won't join in any discussion on the subject Welcome to the GC forum SJ.
