Plantain.
Highly prolific, in most parts of the world, it’s a weed.<<<

And it does not grow here, I tried to do so.

Those seed spikes, makes it a good plant to plant in other ‘areas’.

Might be your soil. The soil here in the PNW is quite acidic, and the plantains grow all over.

So acidic that I have to put out alot of dolomite if I want decent tomatoes and such. Most plants prefer soil that’s a bit alkaline, maybe plantain is different.
