I live in mid Kerry. I have a huge Gunnera manicata in my garden. It soaks up a lot of moisture and is an 'architectural' feature. However I spotted two samples growing in a neighbour's drain last year. I have removed the seedheads from my specimen this year. I'M WONDERING SHOULD I remove my plant as I don't want to leave an invasive plant as my legacy in the locality. What's the best method please? I saw it in Kilmacura Gardens, Wicklow last week and was surprised.

Crocosmia has taken over my garden. Pulling up the bulbs seems to encourage it. Has it become another invasive species in the west of Ireland? What''s the best way to get rid of it? I use old carpets to smother weeds but would need acres of it to get rid of this pest.
