A creeping plant that was used in the past as erosion control on embankments and roadsides, Crown Vetch Securigera varia is sprinkled among the grasses and rushs around the pond. Pretty lavender and purple blossoms among the greens, but it can take over native plants in this area.
Since this is a non-native invasive plant that can compete with native wildflowers, we will be removing it or cutting it back.
