OK, maybe poison ivy doesn't exactly fit this post but I could find another logical forum. I have a two year old hyssop plant � a woody herb that is about 2 ft wide. I had planned to divide it but found a poison ivy plant hidden in the middle. I am very sensitive to poison ivy and wondered if I should just carefully dig up the whole plant and throw it away. Does the urushiol transfer to the leaves of the plants that surround it? If so I couldn�t divide this plant. I'm afraid that handling the plant more than just digging it up whole would get the urushiol on me. It�s not an expensive plant but it does have beautiful purple flowers that attract bees which is why I bought it for my veg garden. Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated. The picture doesn't show the small poison ivy plant in the middle.
