Yes Camillia, it's a 'marginal' plant that thrives in damp, wet places.
My garden is on a dry, sandy soil which would not naturally suit this plant, but I've planted it with plenty of compost to retain moisture at the spot where my pond's excess water overflows.

I know what you mean, had some when I lived in Dartford. Looks great in meadows, but a right pain in the garden!
