Not the ox-eye daisy, the marigold, the geranium, or the california poppy that you can also see in the pic...

    Yes, I agree, Goat Willow.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Unless you have a very large garden, I would get rid. They grow very quickly.

    They seed in from elsewhere. I'd agree - get rid unless you have an acreage rather than an average sized garden. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Unless you have several acres I’d dig it out PDQ … it’ll get huge … quite quickly
     
    and it won’t be good for any drains  in the area either 😨
