    Roundup might work. Dont know what it is. You local garden centre will advise better.

    Its Japanese knotweed or Polygonum japonicum.
    A weed that is very resistant to herbicides.
    Roundup will work but it must be applied every year for 3 years.
    Cut the weed to the ground in winter, spray the regrowth in may and Auguust.
    If you pull the weed, you will just leave root tips in the ground which will grow back as strong as ever.

    Good luck.
