Thank you, thank you, one no all at my clud told me it was a hogweed a relative of Japanese notweed and dig it up an burn it, but my wife like it, she will be so pleased,
Mine grew to about 3 foot. Then it had a great many large seeds and it began to grow everywhere. It looks lovely but if you don't want too many don't let it seed itself.
What is this plant, I have had it in my garden for 2years, and now have a 10 week old grandson, is it harmfull.
