Capitol View Park Citizens' Association (CVPCA)

‼️ Have you seen these little yellow flowers now blooming throughout CVP? They’re Lesser Celandine, an invasive species that poses an ecological threat.

Lesser Celandine spreads aggressively, forming a dense mat that blocks the native spring wildflowers that birds & pollinators need to survive. Left alone, it can take over your yard. Sadly it’s overtaking the wildflowers in Capitol View/Homewood Park. (See 📷.)

For small infestations at home, act now:

🪏Dig up the plant & surrounding soil to remove the little bulbs & stems.
🗑️ Put the plant in a trash bag, not a lawn & leaf bag. Do not compost.
🧽Clean your tools & shoes.
⭐️ Bonus move: Plant a vigorous evergreen native, such as Golden Ragwort, in the spot to help prevent LC from returning.
