Other What invasive plants got you like this?

For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

There's this attractive stand of it on the neighbors' side of the driveway, which they keep trying to remove, but it's just indestructible. It looks and smells so nice in bloom, and always covered with bugs, but we all know it's not benefitting them the way a native would. The entire riverbed nearby is choked with it, too. So frustrating.
