We have tried to get rid of the damn things but they keep on taking over what is fast becoming an asylum! HELP!

Yes... pretty but weed like.

All you can do is go round every evening (or indeed at any time of day but evening is when I do mine) and pull the buggers out.
I did this last year and this year there are hardly any. (Which aren't going to last long, mwahahahahahaaaahahahaha)

they are a self seeding weed - but easy to pull up (unlike many other weeds). Marigolds are nearly as bad.

Just bought brunera marophylla 'Jack Frost'... looks VERY similar to the forget-me-not flower, perhaps a deeper blue, but nowhere near as invasive and with funky variegated green / silver leaves... would be much better to plant this instead of forget me not if anyone has the choice !

I like them. They just seem to 'go' with daffs and tulips and they are easy to pull up when they are finished.
