Maryland Invasive Plant Species

This guide lists garden plants and weeds which are already causing significant changes to natural areas in the Mid-Atlantic. Measures for controlling each species are indicated by number, e.g., (3), in the text with a full explanation at the end of this article. Click on the word Control: to jump to that section. Then click your "back" button to return to the text. Following each section suggested alternative plants are given.  These alternatives are native plants, well adapted and needing little care, attractive to birds and butterflies, and an important part of the food web for our indigenous species.
