    Why winter heliotrope is a problem in Washington

    On Washington properties, winter heliotrope spreading rhizome forms dense carpets on verges, banks and churchyards that smother everything beneath. Around the Old Hall and the town centre, Washington's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Tyne and Wear.
