  • Question

    We have a number of these small plants suddenly appearing on our sandy Long Island property, and would love to know what they are and whether or not they are invasive. They are growing in a sunny and dry area. The leaves seem to have tiny white dots along the edges. I have not seen any flowers yet. Thank you for any help!

    Answer

    Dear MossGal, good morning. I'm sorry, without flowers I won't be able to identify this species for you with confidence. It is likely they will flower next season and you could get images for me to assist you at that time. I wish I could be of more use.
