Types of Viscaria

Sticky catchfly

Sticky catchfly (Viscaria vulgaris) was originally native to Europe and Asia but has been introduced in much of northeastern North America. It can survive drought conditions because of its deep taproot. Its common name comes from the fact that the stem exudes a sticky substance that prevents predators and nectar thieves from climbing the plant.
