What plants definitely don't belong on your plot: you'll regret it, but it will be too late

You shouldn't even think about planting certain plants, such as primrose or forget-me-not, on your property.

The question “Why?” was answered by the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

The whole point is that the mentioned plants have the ability to reproduce uncontrollably.

As soon as flowers begin to grow where they want, and not where the gardener decided, they immediately turn into weeds.

Self-seeding and aggressive plants include not only the alpine forget-me-not and common primrose we mentioned, but also large-leaved tansy, giant eryngium, coronary lychnis, and tall mullein.

In addition, this category of plants includes many varieties of bellflower - broadleaf, crowded, peach-leaved, milky-flowered and others.

If you decide to take a risk and decorate your flower beds with the listed “creatures”, be sure to use measures to protect against self-seeding.

To do this, carefully monitor the flowers and promptly remove inflorescences that have already faded.
