Default Why some wildflowers prohibited in certain states?

In looking through some seed catalogs, I was surprised to learn that certain
flower seeds are forbidden in certain states. I failed to write down
details (I am looking for the website again), but some common wildflower
such as Black-eyed Susans cannot be shipped to certain states because they
are outlawed. This seems very weird to me !!

This is not a troll, I am serious, and curious to boot.


Probably because that state has classified them as a noxious weed.


Yes. MA and NH have decided that 11 common plants are invasive and
cannot be sold after this year. You can find more info on
