    Fox and cubs? Can spread like wildfire, I understand.

    Many thanks Fire for the info...it was in my lawn two years ago so I potted up because I liked the colour, but I do think it does need to be controlled somewhat?

    It's one of the few plants that i dig out of my lawn. Lovely flowers though.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Thanks B3..they are a lovely flower...i do dead head before they go to seed though...are they too much trouble to keep or discard...I have not noticed any insects being attracted to them?

    Fine in a pot as it spreads by runners on or near the surface.  They seed profusely though, so best to dead-head them before the mini-dandelion-like seedheads form.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I agree with @Hostafan1, it's definitely a hosta.
    You are invited to a virtual visit of my garden (in English or in French).
