It is noted that the current hedge behind this bed was considerably taller before
it was reduced to this height, as it would appear to have been a line of trees
rather than a hedge.

The green coloured trunks of the tall shrub at the back of the border on the
left appears to have a pollarding regime with considerable shortening of the
branches from those trunks that are coming into the rest of the bed as their
maintenance technique. Because there is a hedge behind and the plants in
front grow almost as high as where these trunks have been pollarded, then
moss is starting to grow on the trunks due to the excessive shade.

This path is unsafe since it is just slabs laid on the ground. Although it may be
a sandy soil, why does the RHS not at least follow the principles of safety as
shown in the Foundation required for paths, drives etc in Case Study number 3?

They may not be as continuous in colour as digital photos or without detritus on the slides showing on the digitised version whereas you do not have that on digital photos.

Green flowers from August till frosts.36 x 16 (90 x 40). It grows where hogs are pasture-fed in well-drained soil. Pollinated by the wind and is self-fertile. Can be eaten in salads.

Amaranthus chlorostachys
(Amaranthus cruentus, Amaranthus paniculatus, Amaranthus hybridus,
Green Pigweed,
Green Amaranth,
Red Amaranth)

35 Annual

Member of Amaranth Wildflower family.
An annual of disturbed, nutrient-rich waste ground, waysides, rubbish tips, market gardens and arable fields. It is usually casual and only very rarely naturalised. Lowland. Flowers from August till frosts . Can grow 100 inches in height (250 cms). Can be used as a spinach substitute. Prefers well-drained soil in full sun and moist soil.

Amaranthus albus
(White Pigweed,
White Amaranth,
Common Tumbleweed,
Prostrate Pigweed)

No members of this genus are known to be poisonous, but when grown on nitrogen-rich soils they are known to concentrate nitrates in the leaves. This is especially noticeable on land where chemical fertilizers are used. Nitrates are implicated in stomach cancers, blue babies and some other health problems. It is inadvisable, therefore, to eat this plant if it is grown inorganically.

36 Annual

An annual of disturbed, nutrient-rich waste ground and rubbish tips, predominantly casual and very rarely naturalised. It is introduced with fibre, grain, oil- and bird-seed, and with bark for tanning. Lowland. Green flowers from August till the frosts. Up to 20 (50 cms) tall. Greenish flowers in clumps in the axils of the leaves. Prefers a well-drained fertile soil in a sunny position. Requires a hot sheltered position if it is to do well. Cook and use it like spinach. It is in leaf from May to October, in flower from July to August, and the seeds ripen from September to October. Prefers well-drained soil in full sun and moist soil. Pollinated by the wind and self-fertile.

What are garden 'thug' plants?

Invasive plants are those that can quickly get out of hand in the garden, even though they are not regarded as weeds and are commonly sold in garden centres.

Think carefully about introducing these plants to your garden, and be prepared to carry out judicious pruning and digging or thinning out as required.

Examples of such plants include:

Trees and shrubs

• Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)
• False acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia)
• Kerria japonica
• Leyland cypress (× Cuprocyparis leylandii)
• Poplars (Populus spp.)
• Sumach (Rhus typhina)

Climbers

• Passion flower (Passiflora caerulea)
• Russian vine (Fallopia baldschuanica)

Bamboos, sedges, reeds and grasses

• Sasa palmata (see our bamboo profile for a fuller list of invasive bamboos)
• Phalaris arundinacea
• Phragmites australis
• Weeping sedge (Carex pendula)

Herbaceous perennials

• Japanese anemone (Anemone × hybrida cultivars)
• Golden rod (Solidago canadensis)
• Houttuynia cordata ‘Chameleon’
• Macleaya spp.
• Yellow loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata)

Crevice plants

• Mind-your-own-business (Soleirolia soleirolii)

Edible crops

• Blackberries
• Raspberries
• Horseradish
• Mint

Ground cover plants

• Euphorbia cyparissias
• Hypericum calycinum
• Leptinella squalida
• Periwinkle (Vinca major and V. minor)
• Pratia pedunculata
• Rubus biflorus
• Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus)
• Yellow archangel (Lamium galeobdolon) 

Bulbous plants

• Lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria) cultivars
• Oxalis culitvars
• Allium paradoxum and A. triquetrum

Pond plants

There are a number of aquatic plants that can easily get out of hand in a garden pond and are considered true weeds. Ideally these should never be introduced to the pond, though they sometimes come unwittingly with other pond plants.

The problems

Trees like the Leyland cypress and climbers such as Russian vine can grow so quickly that they are soon much too big for the garden.

Trees such as poplar and sumach have a tendency to sucker, sending up shoots all over the garden and even in neighbours’ properties.

Many ground cover shrubs like the snowberry or Hypericum calycinum spread via underground stems (rhizomes), sending up new plants and gradually taking over the border. Some bamboos also behave in this way, becoming a constant source of regret for the gardener.

Potentially invasive herbaceous plants and grasses, such as Japanese anemones and Phalaris arundinacea, form ever-enlarging clumps that require frequent division. Others, such as golden rod or weeping sedge also spread by seed, with seedlings popping-up in unexpected places where they are not wanted.

Bulbous plants such as Oxalis can produce tiny new bulbs, or offsets, which are scattered every time a clump is dug up, spreading the problem rather than controlling it.

Control

Digging out unwanted plants may work for a while, but is only likely to be a temporary solution. Judicious use of weedkillers may be necessary.

For herbaceous weeds, try a programme of spraying using a systemic herbicide containing glyphosate – Roundup and Tumbleweed are common brand names of such products. For woodier plants, choose a stump or brushwood killer such as ‘Bramble Killer Ultra’ or ‘Deep Root Ultra Tree Stump & Weedkiller’.

Beware putting invasive plants on the domestic compost heap, as this is unlikely to reach a high enough temperature to kill off tough roots or underground stems (it is all right if they have already been killed off with weedkiller). Instead, place them in the municipal green waste, as this is composted on an industrial scale, where tough weeds should be killed off. Burning may also be appropriate, but check your local Council guidelines.
