About a year ago, we picked up a scotch broom cheap at Target because
it's so pretty and smelled nice. The tag said it liked it moist so I
thought it would be ideal for the spot in the garden that gets pretty
wet during the winter.

While doing research on other plants, I discovered that Scotch broom
infestation is a major problem in certain parts of Northern
California, Oregon, British Columbia and even Australia.

So the question is, is it REALLY an invasive plant and is it SO bad
environmentally that I should yank it out?

Thanks in advance!

I guess it would depend on your location. I have had one in
my yard for several years and have not noticed much growth
at all. It just finished with the flowers - it does smell
heavenly when in bloom.

I wish mine would grow more. It is not invasive in the northeast.
