JDog Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Gentlemen, what do you think this plant is called? There is a lot of it in the grassy verges in these parts. It is not Scabious. It is about 1m tall and very invasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinj Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 interesting! I haven't seen it round here, we need close ups of the flower and leaf. There's a good app called PlantNet, have a go with that and let us know what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I've just been out to walk the dogs and by coincidence I came across both Scabious and Chicory and I show these for comparison purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nuke and MirokuMK70 are on the money with this. If anyone ever gets any of this plant in their garden be sure to spray it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
