Question

This green plant has come up where I know I didn't plant it and I kept thinking it was a flower but no flowers have appeared so just wondering if anyone can tell me what it is. It's over 5 ft. tall and the greenery is frilley and would be a great greenery for flower arrangements. It has frosted several times but is in a spot that is sheltered somewhat but it is going to get cold soon and will stay that way so just wondering if it's something that I want to try to keep or not. Now would be a good time to move it if it is something that I should keep so please let me know what you think it is.

Do you see any signs of bud formation?

Z · Answer

It looks like Dill by what I can tell by your photo. It can grow to five feet tall, so it is a possibility.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Unfortunately I can't pinpoint the greenery. Its very hard by a picture sometimes, but Im going to take a guess anyway Im thinking along the the lines of wild aster because of the foliage.Do you perhaps have a reputable nursery with qualified associates that could help you identify.

I do not know the name of this weed but I can tell you that it will not flower. My neighbor thought it was cosmos or some other flower but when it did produce a 'bloom' it was a white speck and not the pretty little cosmos she thought it was. Pull it out. It is not a flower and it is invasive as I have seen in her garden

Michelle · Answer

My Grandmother used to call it 'wild dill.' Don't know if it is or not, but when I break off some of the leaves, it usually has a nice aroma.

Zaba · Answer

Weed, i had the same thing come up in my flower bed.

JoAnn Dibeler · Answer

I was hoping to get a definitive answer myself. I have a number of them closer to Houston, TX but the first one that came up got very tall and each year it came back and got fuller. I loved it. It does flower in the fall but tiny, tiny flowers that make it look all furry all over. It finally got so big and heavy that the feathery spikes started falling over and when I went to cut them off some time later I found that they had started to root! At that point I did cut it down but the next spring I had to dig out the large tough root. I now have them out behind the shed in an unused area and I believe the tiny flowers turned into tiny 'dandylion' like seed puffs that blew over there.

Stephanie · Answer
