newbie-please help id this plant?

10 years ago

HI Everyone. We moved to a new home at the end of last summer & I remember that these guys are all over the backyard, filling in almost every border we have. Can anyone tell me what they are please? I included a not so clear pic from last year when they were grown out. I would really appreciate it, as I know next to nothing about plants/gardening. Thanks!

@gardengal48-I changed the pic to show the mature plant. The original was the buds. Thanks.

For future reference, leaving the original pic and adding the other pic in a reply would probably take less time and definitely help make the ID more concrete. If memory serves, I believe the original pic was the start of this years' growth, not buds. Looks like a nice row!

Aha, that makes sense. Welcome to GW! As you've inadvertently discovered, the in-house picture upload does one pic per post/reply. You can reply as many times as you have pics, sometimes necessary to change something in the subject line to get it to accept. A 3rd party photo hosting site can be used to display multiple pics per post/reply, for those who often want to show multiples, or show a same picture in different discussions without uploading it multiple times. (Use the HTML code that should be provided, pasted into the "Message:" box.) Use whichever best suits you, both are common. The more pics, the stronger/easier the ID.
