Info

Cautions and PrecautionsMake Ecologically Sound Decisions• Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) is semi-invasive, naturalized, already present inplentiful supply.• Clovers are naturalized; wild prairie clover would be a good addition and are natural tothe southern state.• Remove any “Korean Bamboo” species (Polygonum sp.)• No Arundinaria in canal, if possible.• No Solanum dulcamara or nigrum. Remove if possible. 1 species is native, this may beallowed (already has roadside/parking area presence).• Trifolium (Clover) and Melilotus (sweet clover) species along the parking area areokay—although invasive. Same assumption holds true for most typical introducedspecies (plantains, dandelions, spring and water cress).• Avoid all Polygonaceae members (esp. Polygonum and Rumex) and species fromdocumented invasive allied families (esp. Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae,Portulacaceae (Purslane), etc.); no need for Caryophyllum.• Avoid toxic species: for example Datura and Lobelia
Plants to Avoid• Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana, importantdue to Cadwallader but too invasive and hardto remove after 5-10-20 years)• Any Sumac and Poison Ivy (allergenic)• Any introduced European species growing wild(Mentha spicata and piperita)• ???European coltsfoot (Tussilago), forcomparison with Jane’s (Asarum)? But growswell on road edges or near ditch at entrance?
