This plant is listed as invasive in some states and work is done in many national forests to remove the plant. I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer. |

It is considered aggressive in the Northeast, but this doesn't effect what I will plant here. :) |

My focus is on US natives, but prefer Iowa natives, wanting to grow what was here historically, if possible. After I left my comment, I tried delving into this. Other than the mention on the USDA site, I am not finding any concrete info on this plant, but about the C. terriflora causing great problems. (At least as far as I searched.) A New York site even gives the C. Virginiana as a suitable replacement for the Sweet Autumn Clematis. |

It is simply a good idea to check. Here's a site for Oregon: http://www.wmswcd.org/content.... I saw some broom plants that I just loved at a nursery and decided to check and found that it is considered invasive in my county. Yet, in other places it is more mannerly and it is considered a fine garden plant. I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer. |
