I will try to describe the blasted thing. I inherited a garden full of it and after 2 years heavy digging and weed killers I still have a whole bed I simply can not get free from it. Its not the odd on coming up its masses every time :(
Its got large broad leaves which are slightly hairy. The hair stings and sticks into skin. It has very pretty blue flowers which look like forget me nots but aren't - slightly darker blue I think. The roots remind me of dandelion roots. In the case of this very mature weed plantation they are very long, very thick and very hard to dislodge.
I've never seen them before and I'm sick of them. I sometimes think if I'd known how much I'd spend on weedkiller I'd have offered £10k less for the house
Any help much appreciated thank you
