Dave-G Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Anyone know what this is please? We have been treating it as a weed for years but decided to let it grow in the hope of identifying if it is indeed a weed or something we might want to leave there.

Yellow Bear Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 A weed is only a plant where you don't want, or where you don't want it. The minute you start to cultivate and cherish it odds on it will die and disappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 If it has quite nice blue flowers later summer then it may be wolf's bane. Looks very similar to mine. If it is then the clue is in the title. It's poisonous. Jdog will be along shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is then it will need to be removed because the dog likes to sample our plants - with a particular liking for bamboo of all things.

That seems to be it thanks a2 - I'll leave it to develope a bit more to see what the other half thinks of it but will cut it down before it goes to seed.
