I see Sweet Broom for sale in N. California nurseries, it is considered
a noxious weed in Washington state and work parties try to eradicate it.
If I planted some in my garden would it be possible to control it's spread?

Same thing as Scotch Broom, Cytisus scoparius? (grumble mumble, common names,

Yes, it's invasive, and the pollen is also a pretty good allergen. Why
buy trouble?
