PLANT
Continued from Page 3
Also, they say the nutrition (of
the Butterfly Bush) for butter-
flies is like eating a bag of po-
tato chips.”
If you do purchase a Butter-
fly Bush and plant it in an open
area of your backyard hoping
for gobs of the winged crea-
tures to flutter at the spot, be
warned — it will spread and it
might be difficult to control.
Birds and bugs knock
around the seeds and — oops! —-
you've got more plants than
you wanted in the twitch of a
butterfly wing.
But Troy said there are ways
to keep invasive plants from
completely taking over.
Mechanical (rolling up your
sleeves and pulling), chemical
(herbicides) and biological
controls (bringing in the
plants’ natural predators) are
all ways to control their
growth, but each can come
with a cost, too.
Mechanical measures may
not always work. Herbicides
can poison other plants and
animals in the garden. And bi-
ological controls can some-
times because invasive, too.
Troy said, when in doubt,
call the extension. But for the
meantime, she has some sim-
ple advice on tackling this is-
sue.
“You can’t control the uni-
verse, but you can control
your garden,” she said.
