| Hi Everyone! We just moved into a house in KS, zone 5, and we have a yard for the first time in quite a while. Lots of shade, and I'm trying to figure out how to convert most of the front yard to shaded beds. I've been a fan of this site for a long time, and I finally have a reason to post! Anyway, I found a bunch of these seedlings, and I thought they might be some kind of Heuchera. I dug them out of the yard. Can anyone ID them? Thanks for the help!

| Whatever it is, check the stem. If it's square, it means it is likely from the mint family and can be invasive. Crush the leaves and smell. If it's got a strong fragrance and a square stem, I'd not plant it into the ground. Keep it containerized! |

| Thanks! And thanks for the advice! Much appreciated. |
