Have this plant (Guest)

Moved to a new home, had some landscaping done and found these growing in the mulch they put in. Tons of them all over. Are they okay to keep? Do I pull them out? I heard they could be toxic. Any information you can give me would be appreciatede.

Posted By Admin: @Have this plant Definitely best to remove this plant - it is toxic, spreads aggressively and has little ecological value . Once established, it is hard to control. Do wear gloves when removing.
