Help identifying a plant

Does anyone know what this plant is?


It's started spreading quite literally all over our grass


Will it be damaging the grass?

I am the opposite of green fingered so any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi

Looks like Lungwort to me. Does it have spotty leaves?

Thanks for taking a look, I'll double check this evening but I don't think so no, the leaves in my pictures are completely spot free

Are they pictures of the same plant? Looks like Speedwell to me.

I had a look on wikipedia, they can be spot free. Its proper name is Pulmonaria.

If both pictures are of the same plant, the leaves are much too small to be lungwort.

Yes they're pictures of the same plant, the first is with the rest of the plants in the flower bed. That's where it started to grow and that's the adult plant. The second is where it's just started covering the grass.

Thank you both! I'll grab a few leaves tonight and compare them!

I hope it's not speedwell, we have two bunnies and apparently they don't like it! Really hoping whatever it is, it will be safe for them

The photos are of a small plant - alkanet's too big.
