Invasive, non-native
Dear Editor:
RE: Hiding in plain sight: is that beautiful bloom invasive? (July 20).
I was so pleased to read the gardening section and the story about invasive tiger lilies. I thought I was the only one that cared. They are an invasive non-native weed.
When we moved to where we live now, I pulled out all the tiger lilies as I was aware of the devastation they caused. We put them in the burn pit and they still grew after many burns. They grow so abundantly and knock out the native species.
I believe people actually think they are native to the area. Let’s continue to educate!
