    If the flowers are purple and white it might be Viola tricolor. Common name Heartsease.

    They are a PAIN to get rid of. I've been trying to pull some from an area where they are NOT wanted one the leaves just come off leaving the roots. If it dries out I'm going for the round up!!!

    The flowers smell lovely but it spreads everywhere in my garden too. I haven't gone down the chemical route - yet...:)

    Hi all
    Thanks for everyone's input. I was a bit worried that it could be something invasive ,
    But as my garden is more or less a small wild patch only a few meters big I think I will
    Take the risk and leave it it's does look a pretty little thing :)
    Thanks everyone
    Gill
