To weed or not to weed, that is the question...
Uninvited guests are growing around the edges of my azalea bushes. They're about 4 ft tall, stems have 3 pointy leaves each and they're blooming tiny vibrant purple flowers.
Is it a poisonous weed?
Best natural weed killer!

Ellen H on Sep 04, 2014It looks like the same plant that I let stay in my garden until it produced seed and I figured out what it was! The seeds are those sticky little triangles that we used to call beggar lice. I pull them now as soon as I see them.Helpful Reply
