Invasive plant in garden

Posted by Craig McGinty on May 9, 2020 at 10:21am in Plants

Hope someone can help with first identifying, and then possibly how to deal with, the invasive plant pictured.

Had a look over the Defra pages on invasive weeds but could not find anythng to match.

Might be able to get a better photo soon, many thanks in advance for any tips or pointers.

    I am beginning to suspect I am looking at marijuana, aren't I?

    M’lud. The seed must have fallen out of the bird feeder.

    Euphorbia has given us a pointer:

    Euphorbia mellifera, Honey Spurge, as it also oozes a white sap that is an irritant.

    Thanks very much.

    I was about to say Euphorbia, but see you already have the answer.

     

  • David Benson May 9, 2020 at 10:40pm

    do not think its Euphorbia as Andrew says bird seed or it could be willowherb you can let some of it grow to see what flower appears
