| This started to grow out of my dahlia tubers like a month after I planted them in a greenhouse. Eventually I decided to investigate (dug up the pot, threw away the tubers because they were rotting) and saved this..it has it's own root system. I have no idea what it is. Looks like grass! Any ideas? Or is it part of my dahlia. it grows very quickly |

| It's definitely not a dahlia. Looks like a grass type weed to me, I'd send it to the compost pile. |
|
| Do you feed the birds? This looks like wheat or some other cereal. Deffo nothing to do with dahlias. |
|
| It looks like a very invasive weed grass we get here.. I would suggest you NOT put it in your compost pile. This one should be bagged and destroyed. |
|
| It's a nice looking grass plant, though! But since you already verified that the dahlia root has rotted, then you can use that pot for something else besides the grassy plant. |
