Mullein: Noxious Weed

Perhaps mullein made for a good wiping material many moons ago, but please read this from our neighbor Candice:

Common mullein is designated as a “List C” species on the Colorado Noxious Weed Act. It is required to be either eradicated, contained, or suppressed depending on the local jurisdiction managing the species.  https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/Common%20mullein%20Factsheet.pdf


Many Skyway residents have let it grow for two years and go to seed.  Their seeds are blowing into the yards of those of us who try to eliminate the weed from our yards. 


When you see one, pluck and throw in the trash, please.
