Those pretty purple flowers in your yard might be a bigger problem than you think. Purple loosestrife looks harmless, but it’s one of the most aggressive invasive plants in North America. It spreads fast—one plant can make over two million seeds a year!—and quickly chokes out native plants, wrecking habitats for wildlife. Even though bees love it, letting it grow can do more harm than good for pollinators in the long run. Experts and gardeners agree: if you spot purple loosestrife, pull it out ASAP and replace it with native plants to keep your yard—and local ecosystem—healthy.
