Green goutweed, the type that I (unfortunately) have is a beast to eradicate, yet is not considered a noxious weed in Canada. All the plants were killed, but the goutweed has now re-sprouted. This is an area I doused with vinegar last summer. The leaves are comprised of three groups of three leaflets and can be green or variegated. In terms of survival skills, goutweed is the cockroach of the botanical world. It produces a web of underground rhizomes from which each leafstalk emerges. It will also grow in a range of soils, but spreads quickest in cultivated garden soil. Goutweed was originally introduced to North America as an easy care groundcover, thriving in shade, partial shade, and full sun. After watching its steady progression in my garden, I realized last summer, that I needed to get serious about getting rid of it.

It took mere weeks for that tiny patch to double in size and it’s now conquered three areas of my yard. In fact, I probably didn’t take it quite as seriously as I should have when I first noticed it growing in a corner of the garden about four years ago. Like many gardeners, I wrestle annually with this invasive perennial, but I don’t think I’m winning.
