That looks like a capanula, and if it's the one I think it is (commonly known as Lady Bells) I'd rip it out quickly. But make sure you get the 'carrot' that'll be down about eight or more inches. Invasive, horrible things. "Oh, but they're so pretty" one of my clients says. My mother and I have spent days trying to rid her garden of them. They keep coming back.

GRRRRR Well, the flowers look campanula-like, but isn't there another name for the plant? Campanula is a pretty big family. Yes, my friend says that the cousin who gave it to her told her it spreads. |

GRRRRR Is it a campanula glomerata? I googled campanula tall purple invasive and that's what I came up with. It could be. I've had them both and spent many, many hours getting rid of them. Glomerata was only marginally less invasive than its cousin. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
