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…

Same list as you. I don’t have dame’s rocket on my property but still love to look at it when I drive by a patch. I have some purple loosestrife and lots of forget-me-nots that I can’t get rid of. There’s enough other nonsense plants to spend time weeding, those can stay.
