This little unnoticed plant was introduced to the UK in the 18th century, and is now classed as a garden escapee and a common wayside plant. Pineapple weed is a surprising plant, as it has an amazing aroma – especially once it’s been crushed. It is a very common weed and is great if you live in an urban area, as it grows in poor, abused soils – so in the cracks of paths or gravelled drives.

If you do manage to spot it, have a nibble on it to try its amazing pineapple flavour for yourself.
