This mint-family weed popped up in the Douglas fir garden years ago. I didn’t know what it was, so gave it the benefit of the doubt. It started spreading slowly at first, but now it has impolitely marauded about ten square feet in and around other plants.
The plant has textured, minty leaves and hundreds of flower spikes that pollinators love but humans don’t really notice that show up around July.
After all the flowers die back, I plan to root out a significant portion of this invader, leaving just a polite amount for the pollinators.
