Hello Eric's mum. Got to say I couldn't leave it any longer. It seemed to grow quicker than my Russian Vine. Anyway its off to be recycled. Thanks for your comments but I would still like to know it's name of anyone else recognises it
Hello Bob, well I might not be in Australia but looking up Amsinckia glaucoma I'm amazed to find that's my plant! What on earth is it doing happily growing to a good metre high with about the same spread in amongst my ruby crocus, miniature dafs an and Siberia ?🤗🤗🤔🤔
According to the links, seeds are indeed the main issue and those already in the soil (and which may well have come in with any compost/sand you may have bought 2-3 years ago) may keep coming up for a few more years and will need pulling-up as soon as you recognize one. The old gardener's rule of thumb concerning weed seeds applies here: "1 year's seeds, 7 years' weeds" which is why the advice is always to not let weeds set seed.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
