Plant Once and Enjoy Your Invasives

I was initially confused by the content of the book. Most garden definitions of perennials focus on flowers, so with the book starting on vegetables I knew that much of the information wasn't relevant. But I listened to the entire book, and am really concerned. It seems focused on beginning gardeners so most readers wouldn't know the majority of plants mentioned should never be planted in a garden. These are the plants that will literally stay with you forever, and invade your neighbor's yards, and any nearby natural areas. She even admits when talking about some of them they can be invasive, and flowers should be removed. This is not easy care, having to control plants to avoid them taking over. And one of the plants she includes, she says check your state laws on the legality of growing it. The red currant can transfer disease to native plants, and is still banned in some parts of the country. There are so many wonderful plants that thrive without taking over, so it is a mystery to me why she seems focused on growing invasive species. With so much focus lately on growing native plants, or at least those that don't threaten natural ecosystems, I can't recommend a book that seems to ignore decades of research.
