    Hi, We’ve got some of this in our garden

    Can’t find it on google and no one knows what it is. I don’t like it much but if it flowers we might be tempted to keep it.

    Any ideas?

    Looks like Coltsfoot – a Tussilago species. Apparently medicinal and flowers a bit like a dandelion.

    Does it smell garlicky? Could be:

    Alliaria petiolata

    Very common in hedgerows and pops up in gardens.

    Another coltsfoot voter here, I don’t think it’s smartay’s gunnera.

    Hmm I think Coltsfoot looks right. I’ll dig it up 🙂

    ISTR it has invasive roots. Be sure to get all of it.
