SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Jan. 27, 2025 – Following the ban of some allegedly invasive plant species in Switzerland, there has also been media attention and scaremongering against the corresponding species in Germany, without the corresponding critical classification. In some cases, even plants that do not appear on the relevant European Union’s list of prohibited species were portrayed as invasive. This reporting has given certain plants a bad reputation among consumers, leading to declining sales and revenue losses for manufacturing businesses in Germany.
