In the beginning of the spring, we bought a blueberry bush and re-potted it. It's been on our back deck the whole summer, and in July, we noticed another plant starting to grow along with it! We cannot identify it when searching on Google, and thought this forum would be able to figure it out! We are wondering if it is an invasive weed or a flower that should be transplanted and grown on its own. Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks!
Welcome Rosie19. Looks like Persicaria. Maybe Persicaria maculosa. http://www.plant-identification.co.uk/skye/polygonaceae/persicaria-maculosa.htm
Thanks so much for your quick reply! This does look like it, but I think we figured out that it is one of the many types of Knotweed.
I think you will find it is Persicaria sp! If I was wrong, someone with more knowledge would have posted here with different info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persicaria http://home.howstuffworks.com/knotweed-himalaya-fleece-flower.htm
