Weeds

it is lesser celandine, a british native. in a woodland settin not necesarily in a border yes. It has a small tuber that tends to break off when pulled. dont compost the tubers or you will only spread them. it has apretty yellow buttercup type flower. but for most of us it is a wed, so get digging :o)

Quick recognition, could be either a violet or celandine.
It is only a weed if you don't want it.

Our garden is covered in the stuff (Lesser Celandine). It also looks like Caltha palustris.

Yes, I agree Celandine mine is just coming into flower now yellow buttercup like flowers.

I have a nice double form but have to keep it under controle.

i have a very crinkly edge leaf form that is slightly bronze, i keep it in a specific place and keep on top of it

The native ones are very difficult to get rid of - they can be invasive, so if you want to get rid of them, do NOT let the flowers seed themselves! They seed themselves as well as spreading by the tiniest tuber left in when you dig them out!

Very difficult to get rid of ,as Spritz says the tiniest bit of tuber left in the ground will grow, but if you keep at it you will succeed in the end.You can carefully spray them.

Yes, this little devil!!! I have been wondering what it was that was forming a growing tide over my garden, I have been trying to dig it up but it is entwined with roots from other plants, an absolute pain, lots of work ahead!!

i find it hard to clear from my plants too.I now let it grow under my shrubs. it stops all other weeds and the shrubs don't seem to mind. but u do have to keep in in check.
