However, that does not necessarily mean the plant behaves the same way in your area. It’s important to look closer and inform yourself about whether this is the right plant for your region.
If a plant is considered invasive at a Federal or Provincial level in your area, we are restricted from selling or shipping it to you. We provide this notice to encourage you to examine items that may be a concern elsewhere and potentially in your region.
