Question
Hi this is a plant that is covering the ground near the edge of the lawn. It is doing so well, I am wondering if it is invasive. Thanks. Waterbury, VT 5/19/16
Answer
Dear joshl, The plant you have photographed is Aegopodium podograria (Bishop's goutweed). This is a non-native member of the Apiaceae that can be highly invasive. It spreads by an underground rhizome that is difficult to remove. If allowed to flower you will see an umbel of small white flowers. Best wishes.
