Author Garden: Variegated Runners Carly Garden Pro! Member # 3052 posted                       I just call them that - or I call them goutweed, just for something to call them. Does anybody know what the stuff is called? * * * * When sorting seeds, do not whistle.

What people call "Goutweed" around here is Aegopodium podograria, a plant with similar variegation, but differently shaped leaves, as you can see in this image. * * * * je mange, donc je suis ~~~ rene dessertcart My Albums Plants: 431 | From: coastal n.c. | Registered: Aug 2005  |  Seeded: 65.184.136.142 Carly Garden Pro!

It is definitely not Aegopodium. Plants: 13 | From: Upstate NY | Registered: Aug 2006  |  Seeded: 64.246.153.4 dodge Garden Pro!

The common name is Michael Archangel because it booms yellow spikey flowers in the spring. I use this as a utility plant. It can be invasive so use it with care, but it will grow most anywhere. Tolerates shade, dry conditions, moist conditions, chokes out most weeds, can be ripped out of the ground and added to containers for the soft green leaves. It is very easy to transplant and spreads quickly. * * * * Peppercorn Plants: 8 | From: Metro Chicago | Registered: Sep 2006  |  Seeded: 71.194.253.29 Peppercorn Gardener Member # 10982 posted                       Hi Carly, Zuzu's Petals is correct.
