This plant is becoming a nuisance. It is grown in gardens for its excellent ground covering ability but has no difficulty in escaping through a hedge and competing with the coarse herbs like nettle, dock and cocksfoot grass. It is much more vigorous than L. galeobdolon ssp galeobdolon which is our wild (proper) woodland yellow Archangel. The white blotches on the leaves are the characteristic which makes this ssp different.
