Why ground ivy is a problem in Winchester
On Winchester properties, ground ivy creeping stems root at every node, forming mats through lawns and shady borders that mowing cannot shift. Around Winchester the River Itchen's water meadows and the old Didcot, Newbury and Southampton railway cuttings have allowed knotweed to establish, spreading further via disturbed ground near St Cross and the historic water mills along the valley.
