I'm going to reluctantly tell you to learn to love it. It is a very invasive weed and I despair about it (spent much of the morning 'controlling' it). But, it does disappear to nothing once it's flowered and this time of year it's a great source of nectar for hungry insects. So, try to grit your teeth and tell me how to do that

Similarly from me. I dig it out with a trowel and try to take a decent clump of soil with it, as it’s famed for dropping little bulblets which then spread. I put it in the garden waste bin as (I hope) it’ll then be composted at a higher temperature than I can achieve in my compost heap and so be killed off. But all this just knocks it back rather than eliminating it.

Why bother? Adds a bit of colour them disappears.

But then I'm a very untidy gardener...

Enjoy it for the colour. I prefer a wildish garden.
