Hi,
Anybody much experience with Teasel? We planted one in the garden in 2020 I think and as a biennial it's due to flower this year.
How easy is it to control?
In 2020 I noticed a neighbour had one teasel in their garden, then in 2021 noticed there were none. However, this year they have what looks like teasel leaves sprouting up everywhere, including cracks in the paving etc. So it looks to me like the teasel from 2020 has sowed it's seeds and they're all sprouting now.
Is it just a case of pulling up any unwanted sprouts in future or is it going to be a pain to control?
