please help, I have them all over the flower bed--- Don't know what they are!

Answer 1

the leaves look like poinsette

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it's not a weed but I don't know what it is!

My gran always used to say it's not a weed if you like it - and I do think it looks v.nice so lucky you!

Answer 3

Weeds are plants too!  Don't discriminate :)

I don't think this is a weed though, it's too pretty.

Answer 4

I dont think there weeds.

Answer 5

marijuana? lol jk

BTW, they look too pretty to be weeds.

Answer 6

It almost looks like Ajuga burgundy glow but the leafs are different. It's mostly likely a plant- is it spreading?

Answer 7

It does look pointsettia-like.  I have never seen a pointsettia with such purple leaves...but they always have milky sap.  If the sap is milky it could help you identify it.

Weed 'em out -- or some of them.  Might be interesting to let some grow and see what it does.  But don't let it go to seed until you figure out what it is.

Answer 8

I've never seen that before!  It certainly is cool!  You should pot it up and sell it.

Weeds are any plant that is growing where you don't want it to.

Answer 9

That is definently a plant.

Answer 10

Weeds are just plants in the wrong place. If you like the plant or weed just keep it. It does look like a poinsettia but with a different colour leaf. The choice is yours.

Answer 11

It looks very much like some variety of pointsettia  http://www.hort.wisc.edu/mastergardener/...    A weed is ANY plant growing where you don't want it.

Answer 12

It looks like some type of groundcover, but there are weeds next to it!  :)

Answer 13

well weeds are plants, can't help you

Answer 14

this is a very cool looking plant it almost looks either like a pointsetta or a type of coleus those would be my best guesses

Answer 15

They are plants, and very pretty. I cant think of the name of them, but when I go to buy my blood leaves at the nursery they are right beside them.

Answer 16

They are nice looking, but if they are invading your garden without your permission then they are a weed in YOUR garden.

Bring one to a local nursery - they should be able to identify it for you.

Answer 17

if they are spreading where you don't want them, just pull up the ones you dont want.

it's pretty though.

Answer 18

Looks like a plant...honestly, there are weeds that are pretty, so if you like it, keep it, if not, pull it.

Answer 19

i believe this is a plant my grandma has a huge garden and has those although they are a wild plant I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure its a plant

Answer 20

they look like a plant to me b/c they have a structured/maintained look.  ALso the leaves appear glossy.  kind of neat looking. i'd leave it.
