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.
Common Bugloss
Common bugloss is a hairy, fleshy, plant native to Europe, Western and central Asia. It invades disturbed, sunny areas such as roadsides, pastures, and hay fields, which reduces the yield of these crops.
Brown Knapweed
Brown knapweed (Centaurea jacea), an invasive perennial herb native to Europe, is a concern in British Columbia, where it outcompetes native species and reduces biodiversity.
Giant Hogweed
Giant hogweed (Giant cow parsnip, Cartwheel flower) is an extremely toxic invasive plant with sap that will cause burns, blisters and scars when touched by bare skin.
