If it's not a dreadful weed, it might make a nice groundcover for my steep bank. It seems to be taking over the bank now and is better than nasturtium that keeps dying off.

As far as I know it is a Cymbalaria, not sure whch one. Known as Kenilworth Ivy and it spreads and spreads by self seeding.

Cymbalaria muralis - Ivy leaved toadflax. Quite invasive if you let it get away!Will smother most things so if you have any treasures - make sure you keep a patch free around them.

I battle this at work for 10 years and just when I think I am winning it rears its pretty head in a new spot.

I shall allow it to cover the whole bank! Otherwise it will fall on my house or the bank will get covered in the most awful weeds.

In Auckland this is an awful pest, really invasive and will smother everything in its path. It is really hard to get rid of. Even if you don't mind this aspect, have consideration for your neighbours, whose gardens will end up infested as well.

That thing'd survive Ground Zero I suspect. Very clever plant.

My neighbours already have woolly and black nightshade, black wattle, Asparagus asparagoides, Moth Vine, Pampas, Convolvulus, Wild ginger, etc etc, all of which I try to get rid of.
