Outdoor Elements - A Sea of Pink and White-Dame's Rocket

Those beautiful pink and white flowers blooming along roadsides and trails in May and early June may catch your eye, but looks can be deceiving!

In this episode of Outdoor Elements, Evie takes a closer look at Dame's Rocket, a non-native plant that can crowd out native wildflowers and negatively impact local habitats. 

Often mistaken for Garden Phlox, Dame's Rocket has some key differences that make it easier to identify once you know what to look for. Join Evie as she shows us a patch in bloom and explains why protecting native plants is so important for a healthy ecosystem.
