Description

A deciduous shrub with showy purple flower spikes, scraggly gray-brown peeling bark, and opposite lance- to egg-shaped green to blue-gray leaves with fuzzy hairs on underside.

Why it's a problem

Forms dense thickets along riverbanks and other well-drained, disturbed sites; crowds out native plants; may alter soil chemistry. Reproduces by seeds with high germination rate and cut stems that can sprout roots. 

Management

Dig up adults and hand pick seedlings. Revisit area until seed bank is depleted. Cut and bag flower heads before they go to seed and carefully dispose of cut branches.

National Pet Fire Safety Day

Do you have a plan for your pets during an evacuation, fire, or post fire?

If there is a fire in your home, it is important to have a plan in place to protect your pets. Here are some steps you can take to keep them safe:

Include your pets in your fire evacuation plan. Make sure you know where they are and how to get them out of the house quickly and safely.

Keep collars and leashes near the door so you can quickly retrieve your pets in case of a fire.

Train your pets to come when called. This will help you get them out of the house more quickly in an emergency.

Consider using a pet alert sticker on your front door or window to let firefighters know there are pets inside the house.

Make sure your pets are microchipped and have up-to-date identification tags in case they get lost during a fire.

If you have to evacuate your home, take your pets with you. Do not leave them behind, even if you think they will be safe.

By taking these steps, you can help ensure that your pets stay safe during a fire and that you can quickly evacuate your home with them in case of an emergency.
