Thank you for the video ❤️ If I did see this plant what do you do with the leaves please, can you eat them or is it best to strip them off where the actual plant is. You probably don’t want to put the leaves in your compost or garden bin 😊
Just got randomly recommended this. Cool video!
This is everywhere in the eastern US too
I would like to like it.😂
If you have cooked this plant then make a video on it.
I weed whacked a clump once which caused it to spread aggressively from the roots in all directions. Luckily this was just in the lawn.
