JohnfromUK Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I seem to have a bit of an invasion of these in my spring bulb bed. The leaves have a bit of a 'clover' type look, but the plant has a single rhizome(?) from which all stems sprout. There is only one leaf cluster per stem. Grateful for an ID as it's not one I know, and I have not managed to identify via 'Google'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 It’s coming up on my phone as a Fendlers meadow-rue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quite low (around 6 - 9" tall and doesn't have any central stem. All the leaves come on their own stems from the base. I agree the leaves are indeed similar.

Windswept Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Looks like an aquilegia (Columbine) of some sort. Self seeds everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds likely. I have not seen flowers, but that might be 'next year', as these seem to be new to the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 As above comes in a variety of colours quite a nice flower but reseeds very easily not difficult to control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRYAN3 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Aquilegia me thinks. got thousands coming up. Original plants were gorgeous but they don't come true when self seeding unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 They come up every which way from Sunday, got a few hybrids last year that were really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
