Which plants and flowers easily become invasive

Beginner gardeners and plant killers are always looking for plants with tenacious vitality, so today we are introducing a few"weed-level"plants. However, their reproductive capacity is extremely strong, and when planted in the ground they can easily spread out of control and become a disaster, so gardeners with limited growing space must be cautious!
 
Variegated Ground Ivy

Variegated ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is an evergreen vine in the Lamiaceae family, with good shade tolerance, a preference for moist environments, and leaves that are fragrant when crushed; it is often used as a ground cover or trailing plantApril - May it also bears small pale purple flowers.
 
Do not be fooled by its delicate appearance; once planted in the ground it grows at an astonishing rate. Some was planted in the small garden next to the office and it soon grew into a solid patch, robbing other plants of growing space, and it still could not be completely cleared out after being pulled up several times. It is recommended to grow it as a trailing plant, or plant it at the edge of a pot in a mixed container. It can overwinter outdoors in central regions, while in the north it needs protection to get through the winter.

Evening Primrose

Evening primrose (Oenothera) is a perennial herb in the Onagraceae family, about50cm tall, with lance-shaped leaves with sparse teeth along the margins; the flowers usually grow2 to a leaf axil on the upper part of the stem, with4 pink petals, fragrant, and a flowering period ofApril - August
 
It is extremely adaptable, tolerating drought, heat, full sun and poor soil, and it overwinters normally even at minus10 degrees, with a strong ability to self-seed. Parks and scenic areas often use it to create flower seas. But ordinary gardeners need to be careful when planting it in the ground; under the peach trees behind our garden it is all self-seeded evening primrose, and eradicating it is simply too difficult, so growing it in pots for viewing is recommended.
 
Pennywort

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle) is a perennial creeping herb with slender stems that root at the nodes, and round or peltate leaves the size of a copper coin; its spreading ability is extremely strong. It can be grown in soil or in water, and it survives as long as there is water and light.
 
Never underestimate its vitality; once it is planted in the ground it quickly grows into a solid patch. A few were tossed onto the lawn in front of Haima's white house, and by now they have swallowed the lawn. If you want to grow pennywort, it is better to obediently use pots.
 
Mint

Mint is a perennial herb in the Lamiaceae family with a great many varieties, such as apple mint and lemon mint, with a fresh fragrance, and many of them are even edible. It tolerates shade and likes moisture, and can grow with3 hours of indirect light.
 
Mint has an extremely strong reproductive capacity; as long as there is a root it can grow, and it soon covers a large area. Unless the root system is completely dug out, it will sprout again after a rain. Growing it in pots is recommended, and pinching the tips can also make the plant fuller.
 
Wood Sorrel

Wood sorrel (Oxalis) is often used as a municipal landscaping ground cover plant, with strong adaptability and vitality; for example, red-flowered oxalis needs basically no management after planting and can grow into a large patch within a year. Horticultural varieties are relatively weaker, but growing them in pots is still safer.
 
Chinese Trumpet Creeper

Chinese trumpet creeper (Campsis) is a climbing vine with beautiful flowers and a long flowering period, often used to create flower walls and flower waterfalls. It tolerates drought, cold and poor soil, and grows quickly; in two or three years it can grow so densely that it blocks out the sky and sun, and it also encroaches on the growing space of other plants. When planting it in the ground, it is recommended to sink the whole pot into the ground, or to build a raised bed of cement to plant it
