Just include that information on your seeds and let the people who get them check and see if they are invasive in their area.


We have one that my mom loves, Sho-Fly, that she kept the seeds from her friends house and babied the plant.  We asked for years if anyone knew what the flower was with no luck.  Turns out it is invasive in commercial tomato fields in Ohio and on their list.  They do "spread like wildflowers" but are easy for a home gardener to dig up and have pretty flowers. 


Going to plant some more around the chickens and see if they really are Shoo flies.


I've been doing a lot of research on plants that can act as a repellent to insects, and I believe that was one you could make into a tea (but I don't recall if you used the leaves, flowers or roots) and spray as an effective repellent.

Got mine all packaged and ready to mail in the morning!
Cant wait to see what I get back! (Hoping for some Luffa! fl )
One of my kinds... I just had to share but didnt have enough but 3 seeds each. They did really well for me this year so maybe you all will get a sample and can save seeds for the next year. The other two kinds I am sending have extras. big_smile
Happy growing!

This one is in the brassica family so I'm sure it's not toxic.  I think you all will like it!

Dont you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?
