Garlic Mustard Pull
This unwanted plant is a threat to many natural species. It completes with native flora, invading to monopolize light and soil nutrients. Garlic mustard is also a threat to several butterflies. Adult butterflies, confused by the chemical similarity of garlic mustard to native wildflowers such as toothwort, lay eggs on garlic mustard. Young caterpillars, which have evolved to feed on toothwort and native plant cousins, are less likely to survive on garlic mustard.
Cows that graze on this weed produce milk with a garlic flavor.
