    Hi all,

    Please move if I have posted this in the wrong section!

    Can anybody help identify these weeds amongst the white stones, and a good method for removing them?

    Many thanks,
    Peter

    We could do with a close up. From that distance they look like oxalis.

    Viola labradorica. Not a weed as such :), has pretty little flowers and spreads by runners and seeds. Can be lifted out with a hand trowel. Might be worth transplanting them to a difficult, shady spot?

      In my garden it has become a weed and is difficult to control. You will need to dig out every small bit of root because it will keep regrowing, or spray with a weed killer, but you'll have to do that many times.

        I've got this, cant say as I like it much.
        Bit late for glyphosate but might work.
        I'd get rid of it pretty quick if you dont have it in other parts of the garden.

        I find it likes invading cracks in concrete and pots.
