Alchemilla
Question:
We have just moved house and the garden seems to be overrun with Alchemilla, can you please tell me how I can get rid of most of it, I do know it self seeds and it's just starting to come into flower. There is a lot of ivy growing between the plants that needs removing
Answer:
You will need to pull up the plants you no longer require. If you want to keep some of the plants, enjoy the flowers but remove them before they begin to set seed. If you are worried you may miss them then remove them now. You will find that they will stop seeding if you can remember to remove the flowers each year. Ivy can be pulled up and removed at any time but ensure you remove all the roots as it is quite robust and may grow back.
