"Environmental Impact:
- Does not support native wildlife as a host plant for butterfly larvae (despite attracting adult butterflies)
- Can displace native plants that provide essential ecosystem services
- Hosts destructive pests like brown marmorated stink bug
Responsible Growing (if you choose to plant):- Deadhead religiously - remove ALL spent flowers before seeds form
- Dispose properly - bag faded blooms and put in garbage (never compost or toss in natural areas)
- Consider native alternatives like Virginia Sweetspire, Spicebush, or native Viburnums that better support local ecosystems
Many gardeners in Delaware are choosing native alternatives that provide similar beauty while supporting local wildlife and ecosystems."Note that it is a host to destructive pests, like the "brown marmorated stink bug," which we are currently inundated with already...a real nuisance!
Hopefully this my help someone else!
