  • Question

    Hi! I need help identifying a plant that is past flowering and all I have left is foliage and seed heads. The foliage is low growing and grass-like. We moved to a new Home in Tyngsboro, MA and I’m not sure what this is.

    Answer

    Dear eantanavica, good morning. Unfortunately, I can't help you with the plant. It is a member of the Caryophyllaceae (carnation family), but without flowers, I can't assist--and it may be a planted species? If you get images of the flowers next season, please send them my way so I can assist.
