Weed or not? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Plant has grown fast like a weed! It has sticky hairs on main stem.

Most of the parts are actually edible, so if it’s way out of place you can look up sundrop (the other common name) and eat it up…

Looks like common evening primrose. For most gardeners it’s probably a weed but it does have a nice yellow bloom. http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/prairie/plantx/cm_primrosex.htm
