Priscilla, oh great weed identifier



What is this??? I have them all over the place, not sure where they came from and they don't do anything but crawl up everything, including other plants

Looks like morning glory. Did you maybe plant seeds and forget? Could also be the weed Bindweed, in the morning glory family. Nice flowers but rampant.

I'd wait and see if they flower before ripping them out.

Kristen said...

no I didn't plant any seeds and it is spreading all over the place. It never got any flowers last year either.

It looks like a vine I get over here ~ very invasive & if left to grow will produce white flowers similar to morning glory, but not really that spectacular.

It can take over quickly & is very hard to eradicate once it gets a foothold in your garden.

Where did it come from? I just started getting it last year I think. I thought it was cute but it doesn't do any thing and it was strangling one of my Columbine

They are some sort of native plant, and I would advise pulling it out as they take over quickly.

Could have been spread by birds.
If the flowers are blue it's morning glory. If smaller and white it's bindweed.

Wow - you went "rad" with your new background theme - Good picture of your kitty!!

I have a lot of wild purple morning glory vines growing here - the leaves on your vine, while similar to morning glory leaves are a darker color and a little "tougher" looking - I vote for that other one mentioned - bindweed.
