Harmful or poisonous? YES! Grow it on purpose? NO! Share YOUR stories ⬇️ about this invasive, non-native, harmful/poisonous plant.
MYRTLE SPURGE is a @coagriculture #Colorado #NoxiousWeed Act “List A” species, which means it is to be eradicated statewide. It spreads by seed, which can be projected up to 15 feet! And those seeds can last up to 8 years! Consider native plant alternatives: sulphur flower, Kinnikinnick, and creeping mahonia. Thank you for voting and exploring more about these troublesome plants!

Thank you @epccolorado Environmental Division for the great Bugging Out with #noxiousweeds walk today with the incredible @coagriculture #palisadeinsectary at @epcparks beautiful Bear Creek Regional Park. And you're right: we see all the weeds now BUT we also know about mechanical (mowing, pulling), chemical, and biological (insect, pathogen) control agents. Field #bindweed ? Russian or Spotted Knapweed? Leafy Spurge ? There's help available! 📷 Quick pic in the shade with an @epcconservationdist board supervisor, district manager, and area @usdagov #NRCS partner.
