Why herb robert is a problem in Scarborough
On Scarborough properties, herb robert self-seeds aggressively through shady borders, walls and gravel, becoming a season-long nuisance in established gardens. Scarborough sits in North Yorkshire, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
