Creeping Buttercup
Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens), a European weed, is a common invasive species in British Columbia, particularly in disturbed areas and wet environments, spreading through runners and seeds.
Common Comfrey
It can be found growing in shady, rich soils near riparian areas or in roadside ditches. It primarily reproduces vegetatively and is notoriously difficult to remove due to its tendency to sprout whole plants from small root fragments.
Black Knapweed
Black knapweed is a tap-rooted perennial which reproduces by seed primarily, although some lateral sprouting of new stems does occur. In its first year of growth it produces a rosette only and re-grows from the root crown in successive years.
Bladder Campion
It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is widespread in North America where it is considered a weed. Bladder Campion tea is widely used in folk medicine.
Baby’s Breath
Baby’s Breath comes from Eurasia and was brought to North America as a garden ornamental. It is now often used in bouquets as an ornamental filler.
