That’s why she’s so dangerous
The annual fleabane, also known as white fleabane, fine ray or fine ray fleabane, is a neophyte from North America, i.e. a invasive plant specieswhich was introduced in the 18th century.
Due to the local growth conditions, the so-called “Erigeron annuus” can multiply disproportionately and crowd out other plant species, some of which are threatened. The weed can be his over 50,000 seeds by means of their umbrellas spread for miles. In addition, it is not eaten by the domestic livestock, which means that whole areas of weed can develop and become a problem for agriculture.
Therefore, you should use the annual fleabane as soon as possible and including the roots remove from their garden and then in residual waste dispose of it, as it can still spread on the compost, for example.
