Many summer residents grow not only edible crops, but also give the plot a noble appearance with the help of spectacular ornamental plants.

However, some flowers are quite aggressive.

As a result, the decoration of the flower bed and garden can fill the entire area.

Which ornamental plants can become weeds?

Fern

This plant looks incredibly impressive, creating a pleasant atmosphere on the site. Many are attracted to the culture not only by its appearance, but also by its unpretentiousness.

But the fern reproduces extremely quickly and has a very powerful root system. In order to prevent its growth, it should be thinned out periodically. It also makes sense to fence the area.

Perennial aster

This flower is used by many for decoration. Its appearance is impeccable, as it is able to bring bright colors even to the most "boring" area.

If you don’t want your perennial aster to grow uncontrollably, you should divide and replant the flowers every two years.

Goldenrod

This plant is used not only as a decoration: goldenrod is an excellent honey plant, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an agronomist and landscape designer.

To prevent goldenrod from becoming a weed, it is important to remove the inflorescences promptly, as soon as flowering has finished.

Fragrant violet

Many people use this flower to create a beautiful "plant carpet". It is extremely difficult to limit the violet, since the seeds can be carried around the site by insects.

Therefore, at the beginning of the season, you just need to find new plants and remove them along with the roots before they begin to bloom.
