Could you possibly post a bigger picture, or describe it? -
The leaves are quite heart-shaped, so my first guess would be bindweed...
Also, the varigation on the leaves makes it look like ivy.
Ellasmum, where is it growing, is it climbing up other plants and trees?Comment

What is this???
This is a bigger piccy of it. It grows over the ground in the boarders and seems to lurk in the shade only. The stems are quite tough and woody and it grows like mad.Comment

Doesn't look or sound like bindweed or ivy - to me. The leaves look a bit like a violet or pilea.Bright Blessings

Looks like Spotted Dead Nettle "Lamium maculatum"Comment

Sounds scarey!!!!Comment

I'd agree with PaulW - Lamium - good for ground cover, as you've discovered

I'd go with dead nettle Ellasmum. Spreads like crazy but it does do nice yellow flowers. You can move it to an area where you want the ground cover if you have the room.

Seems to have the remains of flowers on? They don't look like dead nettle. However, the leaf markings do look like the white dead nettle, lamium album. Nice plant. Hoik it out where you don't want it, leave it where you do.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

leave it to do it's thang and then dig it in as a green manure - I do and it works well as it floweres early ( another possible broad bean pollenator plant!!)ntg
Never be afraid to try something new.

It makes ideal ground cover for a shady area where nothing else will grow!

I've only just seen this - could the plant be a celendine (sp?) yellow flowers in early to mid spring.The weeks and the years are fine. It's the days I can't cope with!

Celandine doesn't have the white/silver marking on the leaves. I think the leaves belong to white dead-nettle (so called because it doesn't sting, by the way) and I suspect the flower remains are from a primrose-type of thing.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
