I found a new-to-me plant, climbing false buckwheat on my property in Michigan.
There aren’t a lot of sitings around me but it’s not rare, and has a low coefficient of conservation (2 in MI)
Same genus as dreaded Japanese knotweed.
It’s not particularly attractive (imo) and sprawls and climbs over things— the one fact I can find about it is that Thoreau described it as “a rampant climber.”
I usually assume things that aren’t sold commercially have reasons for that. I don’t necessarily want to get rid of all of it, but am pretty skeptical of it, too.
Anyone else have this plant?
