I have one growing in my garden bed and had no idea what it was so thanks for this post. Now I’m unsure of what to do with it lol
We had two of them in our front yard growing up and they grow like weeds. They will eventually die out but over fifty years later I am still finding some small ones hidden in my hedge or other places. No matter how often I cut them back the come back.
