Is this a weed?
I scattered some seeds an aunt gave me last year but unfortunately I wasn't
interested in gardening at the time. I didn't keep the packet and have no idea what they were. The plants are have broad leaves with a darker, heart shaped mark in the center of each leaf. The stems below the first leaf are red. There must be 800+ of these and since I'm a novice and the soil had absoluetly no preparation I'm inclined to think they must be weeds! If they are something worth keeping I'd love to know what they are. Any help greatly appreciated. Jus |

Possibly a polygonum - try a google search for pictures -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

It's not allowing me in, saying that I don't appear to be the owner.

Please let me know, too, what this is as my garden is also full of this
stuff. Thanks. Sorry folks, I can find nothing that would restrict access so perhaps using the less direct link below will allow you in. http://community.webshots.com/user/jburnett110 If that fails I'll wait and see what the plants do! |

I'm sure someone round here will be able to help though. -- Cheers, Serena Sometimes I sits and thinks ... and sometimes I just sits. (Punch cartoon) |

Ahh, that's a lot better. I think it's Polygonum persicaria... A quick websearch for that has brought up this page: http://www.hawriverprogram.org/NCPla...aria_page.html It's a fairly common weed, bit it's quite a charming plant. |

Just looked through my wildflower book...
Think it might be something called Redshank (Persicaria maculosa) A weed, but not an unattractive one |

It looks like a polygonatum of some sort. Ita ctually looks just like the Vietnamese coriander I have growing in pots but I don't think that's hardy so I assume this is some other polygonatum. Some of them are supposed to be rather invasive (japanese knotweed is related but the leaves are different so its not that!). Anita |
