    vietnamese corriander.

    At Hampton court flower show in one of the tents I spotted vietnamese corriander in a herb display. Hurrah I thought part of my allotment is covered in the stuff.....wrong. It seems identical but is a weed.It is a weed I really have not come across either. What is going on?

    Can you post a pic of your weed?
    I've not seen Vietnamese coriander before but googled some images and it looks a bit like a weed I have in my garden, which I have tentatively identified as common orache, but I'm not really sure! I look forward to others' comments.

    PS for a weed ID it might be better to post this in the veg section rather than the herb section??
    Warning: I have a dangerous tendency to act like I know what I'm talking about.

      There is a weed that looks just like vietnamese coriander, but it does not have the characteristic smell or taste of the herb. I think, from the picture I found here, it is called redshank.

      This link Redshank - Weed information - Organic Weed Management has more information, it is a relative of the vietnames coriander, looking at it's latin name
      I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

        Off track a litte.

        But if you ever see Vietnamese mint snap it up. Very tasty and little spicey. Used to have in Sydney - not sure if will grow in UK
