Ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria)

Aegopodium podagraria, also known as goutweed or ground elder, is a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia. The plant gets its common name from the resemblance of its leaves and flowers to those of elderberry. While it is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant, it is considered invasive in some regions due to its rapid spread through rhizomes. This aggressive growth allows it to outcompete native vegetation, causing ecological imbalances.
