I call it that bl**dy bottle-brush stuff
it creeps in from next door. Quite pretty really. But in the wrong place for me.

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Some sort of spirea I think.
If this is the same plant as I get coming in from next door, and it looks very much like it, it's a bloody nuisance! It grows like mad and sneaks up all over the place. Next door have it growing as a sort of hedge and they keep it trimmed very neatly so there isn't many stems that actually flower but it gets has a very spreading habit!
Yup! that's the one

Check them out and let me know what you think please?
Cheers
I think nutcutlet is in the right area - the stems are very like a spiraea. It is very invasive, but can be pulled out. It has taken over a bed in a garden I'm renovating.
Thanks
