I have no idea what that is but if purple flowers appear at the top then I class it as a weed, bees seem to like those flowers though.sparklycupcakesprinkles wrote: »

my definition of a weed is a plant that displeases you.IMHO its not too bad and if it becomes a vital food resource for bees then all the better!"if the state cannot find within itself a place for those who peacefully refuse to worship at its temples, then it’s the state that’s become extreme".Revd Dr Giles Fraser on Radio 4 20170

I've been out today picking loads of those (looks identical) from the strawberry bed and yes they do have purple flowers. I've enough purple in the garden for the bees so they won't go without.2011 Sealed Pot Challenge #1238 hoping for £250 ~ saved £743.32

Yes, definately looks like aster. Think yours may be different, Diane as a little early for aster to flower? Usually late summer.Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
