It has gone to weed status here but before I knew its name I was fascinated by the berry clusters and colors - so pretty!

Then someone outside the U.S. was looking for seeds because it was so "GORGEOUS". I picked from the empty lot in my street and sent her some.

Ever since then I've kind of wanted to put a single specimen in a pot on my deck (away from everything so it will stand out. And so I can pull the seedlings that will inevitably come up around it. (They're really easy to pull when they're new.)

Now that I know I can use the berries for dye, I WILL DO IT THIS YEAR!

So thank you for telling me how the plant is USEFUL as well as beautiful!
