Yeah, looks like they are trying real hard to stop it :evil_lol:
 
Anything that makes the Fed List must be a huge problem for them to bother adding it.
 
H. Polysperma is a fast growing noxious weed. It is illegal for sale or trade in the US. It sure is a nice plant though. I like the red/green mix it displays. Sure wish it wasn't banned.
 
So how come I have some? And I couldn't just "accidentally" put some in with another plant if I were to send another plant? The stuff grows like crazy and I do usually just throw the cuttings away unless of course.....
