Hi. What's this plant, please? I've found it sprawling itself over walls and fairly neglected areas. They look like spring flowers but it's flowering now. The pictures are the whole mass, a close-up of flowers and a close-up of leaves.

Looks pretty but very invasive. Plant it at 10 am and by teatime its knocking on your doorGrin

Ah, thank you. I guessed it was a baddie because it's so profuse. It's v pretty though; excellent for real-flower confetti.Smile

“Plant it at 10am and by teatime it’s knocking at your door”. Brilliant expression which I shall borrow from here on!

Yes, it's not called 'Mile-a-Minute' for nothing...

Avoid like the plague.
