The Grow Me Instead project has tried to indentify 30 plants in each of three bioregions (Sub-Tropics, Dry Tropics and Wet Tropics) that are considered invasive and are still being produced and sold. The chosen plants come from lists that historically have been referred to as ‘Environmental Weeds’. Each local authority has a ‘hit list’ of plants that it deems undesirable, with the ultimate aim that the reduced demand will finally result in zero production. There are nursery owners who operate ‘on the fringes’ who will always be happy to grow something that is considered ‘marginal’ by a local authority. Ever the opportunist, they will produce some amazing plants; I have even heard of ‘mother of millions’ being for sale in a gold coast garden centre! That plant is actually declared by the state government, and selling it may incur a $30 000 fine! It pays to know who sets the agenda with weeds and invasive plants.
