  • Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Mar 26, 2018 4:28 PM concerning plant:
    Class B noxious weed in Washington state (do not allow to spread). Found on both sides of the Cascade Mountains from British Columbia south to Oregon, in moist areas, usually on disturbed soil. Forms dense colonies that out-compete natives and reduce habitat quality for wildlife. Dig out, being sure to get all of the taproot. Or till into the soil, then overplant with native grasses.
