Japanese Knotweed was brought over to the UK by the Victorians as an ornamental plant. Its heart-shaped, deep green leaves and tall red stems make this plant look deceivingly attractive. It was also used to stabilise newly constructed railway lines, as it was planted along the embankments which, as you can imagine, caused it to spread even wider!
