I moved into my bungalow at the beginning of this year. The garden has a fairly large gravelled area with a flower border along two of the sides. The whole of the garden, gravel and borders, is infested with a tiny ground cover plant which has three heart-shaped dark green/burgundy coloured leaves to each stem (each leaf is about 2cm across) and a tiny yellow flower which closes at night.
Can you identify it please?

You may look on it a little more kindly when you know one of its popular names is Sleeping Beauty ...but it spends more time spreading than sleeping.

Thank you Teadrinker for your helpful response, albeit a little depressing! I'll try Glyphosate as you suggest.
Thank you Steragram for your reply. I suppose the thing to do is to try and catch it whilst it's sleeping!

if its in gravel regular hoeing/raking will help but I'd also go for the weed killer option.

Lol Edukes, never thought of that!

Oxalis corniculata, creeping woodsorrel, it's very hard to eradicate. It has explosive seed capsules, and produces bulblets on the roots, so whenever you try to pull it up you're propagating it instead...
Glyphosate works tolerably well, but it'll keep coming up so you have to keep spraying, which not everybody would want to do.
But you do need to get it under control if you can.
Sorry it wasn't better news.
