Washington Invasive Species Coalition.
This booklet is available to
help gardeners and nursery staff
make sound planting decisions. Many
of our noxious weeds began as garden
ornamentals that out-grew their confines
and spread beyond where they were
intentionally planted. This book
lists many of the noxious or known
invasive ornamental plants and alternative
garden choices that have similar
stature and color characteristics,
without the negative invasive qualities.
