This is growing at the corner of the porch. Should I pull it or is it something that will grow and get flowers. It it isn't to obnoxious I would leave it if it gets flowers on it. So far there aren't any. dooley
Absolutely. That plant can spread like wildfire and it's leaves can adhere to your clothing. It takes mer ages to get it all out of my garden when it blows-in from time to time. I don't know it's name...but I will ask some of the oldtimers when I see them.
It looks like what we in Scotland call Cleavers/Sticky Willies Dooley. I'd definately get rid of it as it can be a real pain in the garden. The burrs stick to anything and are hard to get off clothing.
Spray it with Roundup when the sun is out . That will kill..... Wait a week and dig up the area put new soil there and plants some nice marigold.. b
It looks similar to what we call goose grass that has sticky round balls on it that stick to your clothes and even worse get stuck in the dogs fur, the leaves are also sticky and adhere to clothing.
Dooley check with some of your neighbors, that might be what is commonly called sticker burrs. If it is, the best treatment is to improve the health of your soil they can't grow in healthy soil and spraying with some herbicides will feed them rather than kill them.
Yes,Laura,Pull it That is a terrible plant and I have way to many of them.I have almost give up on them.
