There’s this tall plant growing next to my hydrangea bush. I don’t know what it is maybe it’s weed? Please help to identify. I don’t know what to do now. This is a new garden in my new house and I’m totally new to gardening.

I would say a weed - I don't know what it's called but I get it at the allotment

Looks like a huge dandelion!

Thegirlhasnoname · 16/06/2018 23:20

It just looks like a massively overgrown dandelion to me but hopefully somebody else can let you know for certain :)

It is a weed. Pull it up before the seeds scatter.

NorthernLurker · 16/06/2018 23:22

It's a type of thistle I think. Get rid of it.

LuluJakey1 · 16/06/2018 23:23

Yes, Dandelion family. Dig it out and try and get to the bottom of the root so it goes completely.

TheChippendenSpook · 16/06/2018 23:23

Do you mean cannabis? Or 'a' weed?

It looks a weed to me.

northender · 16/06/2018 23:24

It's a type of sowthistle which in a garden is seen as a weed. Easy to pull out & get rid of though.

MsJolly · 16/06/2018 23:25

That is one mahoosive dandelion-dig it up but dig dip for the root!

Somethingsfallendown · 16/06/2018 23:26

It does look like a dandelion but didn't think they could grow that huge thou? !

TheChippendenSpook · 16/06/2018 23:26

Totally off topic but northender are you a Preston fan by any chance? I always want ask you when I see you on threads.

EBearhug · 16/06/2018 23:26

Groundsel. Weed.

northender · 17/06/2018 12:15

I'm pretty sure it's sowthistle. This is a pic of common sowthistle. Same family as daisies and dandelions.
Spook yes I am, for my sins Grin

northender Haha!! Well in that case I have to confess to being what you would describe as a Lasher Grin

FraxinusExcelsior · 18/06/2018 06:23

Other posters are right about it being a cow thistle.

I can't believe all the people incorrectly stating that it's a dandelion - what's happening on this board?
