Hi all, does anyone know what this plant might be? I ask because I have it labeled as being Helenium Autumn Lolipop and it obviously isnt that, think I got sent the wrong thing
A member of the persicaria family - a weed! Bin it as it spreads...probably was on the pot the Helenium came in and it has survived unlike your Helenium!!
Thanks for identification - I've got a heap of them and they are so boring. Arrived via a packet of wildflower seeds bought for a shady location, about the only things that did well! Mind you, they're beginning to die as my sandy soil is SO dry but I'll pull them out before they scatter their seed......
its a quite healthy weed to give to small animals like goats, rabbits, chickens, but only in a small dosis at the time, helps getting rid of intestinal parasites, usually appears in disturbed sandy soils
