Special Notes: Care must be taken with this species and many within the genus as they will take over your garden if left unchecked. They are prolific seeders and will spread through rhizomes, specialized stems that send out new roots and make new shoots. If collecting seeds, simply shake the head into a paper bag to save time during processing
