UK gardeners warned about invasive plants that could lead to legal trouble

Invasive weed specialists at KleerKut have warned UK gardeners about dangerous plants that could lead to legal issues. These invasive species can harm local ecosystems and may result in criminal charges if not managed properly. Among the highlighted plants are wolfsbane, Himalayan balsam, and giant hogweed. Wolfsbane is toxic, while Himalayan balsam is illegal to spread beyond one's garden. Giant hogweed can cause severe skin burns due to its sap. Other problematic plants include hedge bindweed, hairy bittercress, and deadly nightshade. These weeds can grow aggressively and spread quickly, posing risks to both gardens and public safety. Gardeners are advised to take action against these invasive species.
