    I think it might be worth letting one of these grow to see what you are dealing with.

    It also spreads with a creeping root system. We have learned to love it in our garden...it will die down and re-appear next year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    I think the leaves are too grey/blue for that one and too white on the back of the ones that are curled round.

  • Lyn,

    You have to be very careful, I agree. I'm still having trouble identifying from the picture - looks a bit like alkanet or comfrey, in which case a bit of short-term yellowing will be worthwhile!

    Another advantage of letting them grow on, apart from ID, is the extra leaf area to absorb whatever you use to deal with them.

    Hello all - I applied some Verdone Extra on Monday morning at 8am As suggested.  how long should it take before I see some results?  More importantly when can I cut the grass again? image

    I just took some more photos to see if it will help with identification.

    I did leave one grow in the hedge at the beginning of the spring and the leaf grew to about 12" before I dug it up.
