Plant or weed?

Janet Pizaro on Nov 29, 2015This question is not that easy to answer. It looks like a weed, however sometimes what we think send up a wildflower. Have you seen any signs of a flower forming? When did you notice this? It definetely is a familiar leaf but before I attempt to answer this I need to know the questions that were asked.Helpful Reply

Glhill on Nov 29, 2015I would have to agree that I can't determine whether it's good or weed until it grows to a head & forms a flower or not...that's the best way to find out is be patient!Helpful Reply

Laura Laskey on Nov 29, 2015I will wait until next summer to see if it blooms. I was hoping someone would take a look and go - oh, that's a xxxxxx. 😀Helpful Reply

Catherine McBrien on Nov 29, 2015My guess is that it's a plant. For sure cut it all the way back-that old foliage is just a drain on the plant--and wait and see what happens.Helpful Reply

Cyndi Neumann on Nov 30, 2015Is the leaf standing up behind the one laying down a curly look? I think I had one I was trying to ID also, It was very large! I will keep looking if I found an answer. Smiles, CyndiHelpful Reply

Dee on Nov 30, 2015This is called Mountain Bluette (or centaurea). It gets beautiful blue (or even dark, almost black) flowers that look like bachelor's buttons. If you deadhead spent flowers, it will bloom into the fall. A KEEPER! http://www.northerngardening.com/NGB_articles/centaurea.htmHelpful Reply
