  • Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Mar 26, 2018 12:33 PM concerning plant:
    Class B noxious weed in Washington state (do not allow to spread). This plant spreads quickly, forming dense colonies that out-compete natives. Pull the plant and burn or put in the trash, do not compost as this will just increase the spread.

    Valuable source of nectar and pollen for honey bees.
