This small flowering plant reproduces by seeds and has a persistent nature that enables it to resist control techniques. It is competent in invading landscapes, and due to its competitiveness, native plants struggle to thrive. This weed is harmful as it monopolizes resources such as light, space, water, and nutrients, stifling the growth of desired plants in a garden.
