If you google the full latin name you can find out more about it! I read that it likes moist soil in a sunny position and it can be invasive so best confined to a pot (!).

I looked that name up and YES it is it!!!!!!!!! Now I know what it is! And I also know now why it is every where! Like you said it is a weed! Wouldn't you know that I would wind up with a "weed" :oops: :oops: :oops: :twisted: :wink: :? :lol: :D

Thanks so much!!!
