Weed or Keeper

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Jul 25, 2013Ok, so @Barb Rosen is right on the first pictures, definatly Ironweed(Veronica). Last picture is Swamp Hibiscus. I would wait until fall to try to transplant. You will need a full sun spot that keeps good moisture or plan on watering it ...alot. It is a great attractor for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. And I am still mulling over those middle three pics...if only I could remember half of what I know I would be awesome!Helpful Reply

Linda Sommer Wilkin on Jul 26, 2013A weed is defined as a plant out of place. So if you like it and you keep it, it's not a weed!Helpful Reply

S. Snider on Jul 26, 2013I think the top middle one is Joe-Pye Weed. It's not supposed to be weedy and attracts tons of butterflies. I personally have never grown it so I'm no expert on it.Helpful Reply

Kathy C on Jul 26, 2013If the stem is somewhat reddish in color I would agree that it's Joe Pye Weed. We have it everywhere in VA and the butterflies adore it! It spreads......Helpful Reply

Gidget Beck on Jul 26, 2013the first one in the middle row looks like liriope.. if it blooms with a purple beaded type of blossom then it would definitely be liriope. It is a member of the ornamental grass family- not a weedHelpful Reply
