Japanese knotweed can actually look pretty, yes it can be a thug. But managing the plant and enjoying your garden is the key. Ignoring the problem or worse cutting it down and pretending its not there doesn't in the medium or long term help.
It's here in this garden near Streatham, it simply pops up. Longfield Knotweed Solutions visit as required and carry out a herbicide treatment. The garden can still be enjoyed and next year if the plant pops up it won't be so vigorous. (Yes care is taken not to knock the plant!)
