Invasive plants grown in many Australian homes are a threat to the country's environment and biodiversity. Dr Carol Booth from the Invasive Species Council says escaped garden plants threaten Australia's unique fauna and flora.

"Australia has a Massive Weed Problem, and it's been estimated
that three-quarters come from Escaped Garden Plants"

As Dr Booth explains, Escaped Garden Plants not only invade bushlands and riparian areas along Creeks and Rivers, but also outcompete Local Plants and destroy native wildlife habitat.

Gazanias are one of the Most Invasive Plants causing Havoc
to Agricultural Land and Native Vegetation in Australia.

YES! Gazanias Surprisingly The Worst Of Invasive Weeds In Australia -
Extremely Hard To Remove and The Farmers Nightmare!

I wish people would leave their Beloved Plants Overseas when they Come Here, because those Plants often Behave Differently Here than they do in their Countries. My Instincts have told me this strongly for some time, and part of this Article proves it True. Read on......

This is what horticulture experts recommend.

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?

An ornamental flowering plant sold at Bunnings and Other Nurseries
has been labelled dangerous to Australia’s Environment.

Do You Know This Flower?

Gazania daisies, bright coloured flowers native to South Africa, are a
“Highly-Invasive Plant”, a new study by La Trobe University said.

According to the Research, Gazania Seeds show a High Tolerance for a wide range of environmental conditions, enabling them to Spread More Aggressively and Destructively than previously expected.

As a result, researchers warn that the plant can become a problematic weed all year-round across much of Australia, potentially leading to widespread infestations.

Gazania has already been found growing in a range of habitats, from coastal sand dunes and stream banks to wastelands, open grasslands, roadsides and cultivated or irrigated sites in southern and parts of Western Australia.

“These preliminary findings suggest This Weed has the potential to develop a significant seedbank in Australian no-till grain production systems,”
the report said.

Invasive Species Council Advocacy manager Imogen Ebsworth has called for a National Ban on the plant, expanding from the current restrictions in South Australia.…
