Is this a heuchera thing going on, or.......

Is this a look alike weed hitching a ride for fertilizer and good doo-doo?

This is the only place I've found these things, but they are green and appear attached to the heuchera? Anyone?

Looks like a green-sport to me... or perhaps a self-sown seedlings which germinated under the 'mother' plant.

Hmmmmmmmm..thanks. I wondered, but you know it almost looked like a weed too!

I did notice couple tonight that were in the area where I transplanted these from this spring. Hope I didn't pull them out!

Thanks, I appreciate the help!

did you have any mallows or malvas or holly hocks in the area? Leaf looks kind of similar to the first leaves that come out from those in the hibiscus family

Digginit! I can't believe you chose today to post! Too funny! Yes, I had mallows where these had been growing, but about 3 feet from them. I have been too busy to even go near this garden except once in the last two weeks to mow. I noticed 2 days ago, that they were NOT heucheras, as they were nearly 2 1/2 feet tall.

Just this morning, I found a mallow bloom on these. It was a certain surprise! I didn't know they would self seed in our zone 5, so that's fun. I'll have to watch for them better, b/c I'm certain I've pulled a ton up this spring/summer!

Thanks for looking and answering, btw

Glad I could help! To bad it wasn't before you figured it out yourself though!

Those mallows and malvas will reseed like crazy.

I don't mind as Long as I know what I'm pulling. Funny they only grew around the heuchera though. THanks again
