Very aggressive, what is it? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This plant showed up last year, 2103, as ONE individual stem and has grown to this! Can anyone please help me identify exactly what it is?

Stone, Thank you very much! It definitely, based on search of that plant, is exactly a Snow on the Mountain. Now I just need to figure out how it got in my yard as there is none anywhere in the neighborhood. Thanks! Jeff

It’s a euphorbia. Might be “snow on the mountain” (euphorbia marginata)

Could it possibly be a type of mint? It puts me in mind of a pineapple mint i had once. Crush a leaf and see if there is a scent of mint. Also mint has square stems. Mint can grow at a tremendous rate too!
