Every year, one or two of these plants appear in amongst my pots. It usually dies off quite quickly, but this one has lasted longer, so I would love to know what it is, please?
I'm sure its a weed too. I have a policy that anything which decides it wants to live in my pots can have a go. I'm quite keen to try a nurture this one a bit, seeing as its lasted a little while.
DH nurtures things he isn't sure of, [usually weeds] but now and then turn out to be spectacular [but still weeds] It looks a bit like cannabis to me MissA ! Crush it and put it in a roll up.
I think it is Black Nightshade a member of the Potato and Tomato family, if you leave it it will have small green berries, don't let them fall or you will have lots more next year
Thank you, Diana and all. When I searched for a similar image to try and work out what it is, tomato and nightshade both came up, so I shall leave it and wait for the berries. Then it'll have to go, though. I don't want all my pots full of them.
MissA I have an app on my phone called "PlantSnap" - it's quite amazing, you click on the app, camera icon appears, take a pic of the leaf or flower of a plant, and it scans a database and tells you what it is. Doesn't save the pics to my phone so that's a bonus. So far it works like a charm, I've tried it on familiar plants as control
