found this in my garden and i am unsure of whether its a weed or not, do i leave it or get rid of it?
Hi Lindsay, sorry, my memory lapses on what this one is. Its latin name starts with P and its a common hedging plant in warmer areas of the tropics. I haven't heard of it being a problem in NZ but others may know more
Plumbago. Can become locally invasive in Hawkes Bay, by suckering. I eventually got rid of it for that reason, but the colour and the timing of flowering do make it attractive, so active management is an option
Knew it started with P! Damn memory
