Q&A – What is this weed?
A: Mulberry Weed

Question:
What is this plant? I think it’s a weed that I inadvertently introduced into my garden. It grows from spring till frost and is about a foot tall with a dinky fuzzy flower.

Answer: 
This is mulberry weed. It is a highly invasive weed that produces lots of seeds even when it is small. It was introduced to the United States and is often spread with nursery purchased plants. It is difficult to eradicate from your yard.
