Asked July 11, 2024, 1:07 PM EDT

Which plant are we supposed to be trying to eliminate? Confusion about two pictures/descriptions on website One looks like creeping plant says looks like violets Other is tall with bell shaped flowers Neither appears listed on mn invasive plants list

Ramsey County Minnesota

Expert Response

Called creeping bellflower because it spreads, it usually presents as a tall plant with purple flowers.  I'm attaching a U of Mn link that contains photos and descriptions of this plant.  It is considered an invasive weed.
