This plant can be weedy and known for its extreme invasive growth. Some call it a "Garden Thug" and a few States have labeled this plant as an invasive threat because once you have it, good luck trying to get rid of it! It is known to be poisonous if not lethal to animals, livestock, and even humans. Although the short-lived blooms are beautiful, if you consider introducing this "weed" to your landscape/property, be prepared to see it pop-up in unplanned areas as it will spread!! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Good luck trying to cut this evasive species back. This plant is non-responsive to several herbicides. Research studies at Purdue University found paraquat provided 70 to 78% control.
