PlantFiles: Hedge Parsley
Torilis arvensis

This plant is a serious invasive across the United States. Due to its sticky seeds it is spread easily by people and pets (especially dogs). It then moves into natural areas and out competes native vegetation. If you insist on planting this species in your gardens make sure to remove the seeds and destroy them so that you do not contribute to the spread of this species.

INCREDIBLY AGGRAVATING plant when it goes to seed! If you brush against it, even slightly, the seeds will stick to your clothing. If it's socks, forget trying to get them out ~ just throw them away or you'll risk insanity trying to pick all the nasty little buggers off! I once had to shave a dog bare when he went gallavanting through a large patch of them.

The plant has a rather attractive flower, but there are so many others so similar that I wouldn't bother with this one.
