Since we are smack-dab in the middle of planting season (and how fortunate we have been to have such a fantastic spring) I wanted to remind those who are not familiar with plants what to avoid. Here is a list of non-native plants considered most invasive in Maine.
1. Purple loosestrife (lythum salicaria)
2. Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii)
3. Oriental bittersweet (celastrus orbiculatus)
4. Japanese knotweed (fallopia japonica)
5. Smooth and common buckthorn (frangula alnus and rhamnus cathartica)
6. Non-native honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.)
7. Garlic mustard (Allaria petiolata)
8. Multiflora rosa (Rosa multiflora)
9. Small-flowered tickle-grass (deschampsia cespitosa ssp. parviflora)
10. Common reed (phragmites australis)
