It reseeds itself.
Bees like it.
It's other name is starflower.
Just let it grow where it likes. It puts trace nutrients in the soil.
If you don't like where it grows, just pull it and toss it in the chicken run - unless they free range, then they can eat it at their leisure. It supposedly tastes faintly of cucumber and has a lot of 'medicinal' uses.
I'm here to tell you, nowhere in what I read, did it warn me that the older leaves are FULL OF LITTLE STICKERS!
Wear gloves if you want to pull established plants.
It completely outgrew the pansies planted with it. the TWO plants I planted in the tires survived all the other plants I put other places.
It does have pretty flowers.
Hope you are all doing well. God bless. ♥
Bees and chickens like it so just plant it where you can mow it maybe. It is a pretty plant.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. It sounds like it could turn into the next Kudzu scourge if left unattended.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. Wonder if it grows wild here? I would like to plant it too.
ReplyDeleteI have to echo LL, it does sound ferocious.
ReplyDeleteThey picked the flowers for salads last night on a TV cooking show. I planted it for our bees
