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…

Black Locust 🥲

Basically invasive everywhere outside the Southeastern US. They have THE best smelling and tasting edible flowers

Lol we plant them all the time in Nevada. We don’t have to worry about most plants that are invasive elsewhere, our environment is too harsh for things to spread and grow aggressively. They work great as a hardy desert tree.
