    Will it do any harm if I keep it?  Relocated of course.

    only if you let them seed. they'll be everwhere, but  now you can identify it,it's easily pulled out before seeding. Let them flower , then into the compost bin

    Sounds like a plan

    Only a weed if you don’t like them. They will seed and spread around but easy to pull up if they appear where you don’t want them or pull them out before they set seed.

    They can look scruffy as they go over after setting seed so I pull them up then and throw them on the compost. 

    A nice cheerful covering if flowers in spring.

    I love them and use them as weed suppressors. Soon as they start to go over I yank them up.

  • Same here. Mine were in the garden when I moved in. Love them. easy to pull up in unwanted locations.

    I love them. They self seed on my pebble beach area by the pond and they are the only thing I don’t pull out (apart from new Alchemilla Mollis, which is on a mission to take over the garden). 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.
