    We have no idea if we planted it or if it's a weed. It appeared and grew fast as lightening. Hasn't flowered yet.

    Can anyone help with the ID of this thing?

    I have those here too. And while I don't know what it is, I DO know it never blooms. I call it a weed and pull it out!

    I would think it is a weed also. It resembles something here too.

    My hubby pulled it out about an hour ago. He said the root system was gigantic.
