This 'Pretty' Plant Is Wrecking Yards

You know that cute blue-green plant with yellow flowers? Turns out, myrtle spurge is a total menace! It’s spreading fast across the US, choking out native plants and its sap can actually burn your skin. Not only is it toxic to pets and people, but it also ruins habitats for pollinators. If you spot it, rip it out (with gloves!) and toss it in the trash—not the compost. Who knew a pretty plant could be such a villain? #Home #InvasiveSpecies #MyrtleSpurge
