EU bans garden plants - these species are no longer allowed to be planted. As of: March 18, 2024, 8:02 p.m By: Sandra Sporer CommentsPressSplit Some ornamental plants are taboo in German gardens.
They are banned by the EU because they are invasive species. There is a risk of five-figure fines for planting them in your garden. Many of the invasive species spread extremely quickly and can displace native plants. 22 of them have already been found growing wild in Germany and their spread should be contained.
