The biggest difference between selling a 4 inch plant at the nursery, and seeing it growing full size in a garden is that it may not resemble that small plant anymore. I have to admit, some of these I can’t tell if they are weeds, or wonders. Some I think I remember, others have me stumped.
This gardener is questioning everything that pops up out of the ground, because frankly when you container garden you get very few volunteers, and almost no weeds, so I am out of practice.
Now when I find something growing away in the mulch of my garden I have no idea if I should hack it or harbour it.
Any ideas suggestions, thoughts? Love em, hate em, do they grow like weeds because they are weeds?
I’ve numbered them all so you can tell me what you think.
I would appreciate any and all help, and do you think that #3 is a Echinacea? It had better be, or it’s coming out of the patch of Iris I have in the front garden tomorrow.
Thanks for your answers… hope that you can solve a few questionable plants identity crisis.
Pondering……
