Goutweeds is a genus with species that grow in temperate climates throughout Asia. The genus has also been introduced to several Eastern states in the USA, where species can be recognized by their five-petalled white flowers. Members of the goutweeds genus spread aggressively by underground rhizomes and are considered an ecological threat in many areas since they form thick growths that choke out other species.
Water:
Originating from shaded woodlands, goutweeds prefers moist, well-drained soil and consistent humidity. While drought-tolerant, it thrives with regular watering every week. As an outdoor herbaceous perennial, goutweeds benefits from mulching to retain moisture and regulate temperature.
Propagation:
Propagation methods for goutweeds include division and seed sowing, requiring partial shade to full sun, moist soil, and cool temperatures. Manage its invasive nature through controlled propagation. For division, separate clumps in spring or fall. For seeds, scatter in moist soil and maintain consistent moisture.
