Burdock...transplant??

[Nyboy]

The nursery I went to this weekend had one called red burdock. The stem and veins where bright red. Was kind of pretty.

I forgot to add--these were grown by monks in Europe during the Middle Ages for the medicinal use of their leaves. If you get a bug bite rub some on.I spent the weekend digging OUT burdock. If you get the root several inches below ground you sometimes can kill it.

So we have burdock, purslane, dandelions, nettle, sorrel, chickweed. I have more medicine in my yard than in my medicine cabinet.
