    Can anyone identify this weed. It’s common around my garden and it’s an evergreen.

    Looks like one of the willowherbs. Don't let it set seed!

      I'd say Willowherb too. They tend to snap at the base of the stem when you try to pull them out, leaving most of the root in the ground and then they regrow, so you have to make sure the whole root is removed.

      It is a Willowherb. There are several types. It will flower … almost every type of plant produces a flower and seeds even if they’re hardly noticeable.
      I would get rid of all those that you see … plenty more will appear to take their place … get rid of those too … plenty more will appear to take their place … get rid of those too … the seeds of Willowherb float like thistledown on the slightest breezes for miles and land in your garden … and in mine … every one of them will grow … get rid of them … plenty more will appear to take their place :psnp:
