Why herb robert is a problem in Swords
On Swords properties, herb robert self-seeds aggressively through shady borders, walls and gravel, becoming a season-long nuisance in established gardens. In Swords, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Ward River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Swords Castle and Malahide Estuary, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Malahide and Donabate, are where we most often find established stands.
