Plant & Weed ID Megathread

No you can't stop Rosebay other than pulling it, there is probably a bit of wild ground somewhere around you that has it growing, it has the most spread-y seeds imaginable, though the seed pods are very pretty. If left it will create permanent roots and be very happy to grow from them, so its worth just pulling them when you see them, even if they have got to flowering, just don't let them seed.

Yes the first one looks attractive and possibly harmless, wait and see and give us a pic later in the year. Its just possible it could be a fern of some sort.

It's good, but it's not what we're looking for. 😆

It's not that as it's growing off a stem.

New Home's suggestion of Astilbe is looking very likely, not 100% sure but its looking that way.

Cheers it's down the far end of the garden that has all sorts of stuff growing so I'll leave it alone. This other thing is taking over the flower beds and starting to sprout up in the grass. Fecking nuisance

It grows fairly tall. Probably two feet with yellow flowers and is spreading everywhere. It's nice looking though

Yep your bang on! Just googled that and it's definitely it

This is one of my favourite threads on boards.

Nothing like a bunch of knowledgeable gardeners lobbing Latin botanical plant names at each other before they reach an agreeable consensus. I'd have failed on the common name spelling alone!

Had that stuff all over the yard in New Jersey back in the day. Called it 'bugleweed' and it spread like a vigorous weed.

Mine has spread to every single corner of the garden and starting to crowd out everything else
