| Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on May 24, 2013 11:39 AM This is a naturalized non-native invasive in the Pacific Northwest. Found in fields, thickets, roadsides, disturbed areas. Can become problematic in the garden, although I find it easy to just pull out where not welcome, and I enjoy the pure white flowers shining through a host shrub. [ Reply to this comment | |
