Minor Delay
Today is one of our last nice weather days for a while – we’re going in to a string of 90’s with high humidity – no thank you – which meant I was outside working on fence all day but that also means the next blog post won’t get up until late Thursday or early Friday. In the meantime – internet – what is this plant?
The flowers are purple and bell shaped and living amongst my hostas but the leaves are a different shape than the hostas, much smaller and jagged edged. They are pretty so I don’t mind them provided they are not toxic to horses, but without knowing what they are I can’t look them up to see if they are toxic. So what are they?
It’s Creeping Bellflower. It can choke out all your flowers if you let it keep going. It’s not considered invasive here yet, but it is in Wisconsin. Good luck with that!
It is creeping bellflower. An invasive, non-native weed, but not toxic to humans or animals. Apparently edible. I have a ton of them among my host as as well.
Creeping Bell flower
Very invasive
It’s not on the dangerous for horses list 😊
