Listing
Hemerocallis fulva as an invasive species.
Several
state and agency publications and websites currently list
Hemerocallis fulva as an invasive species. Due to its long
life span and use in erosion control, H. fulva is often
found near old home sites and along drainage ditches. The
same properties that allow it to flourish in these settings
with no care can also allow it to be considered invasive in
certain settings where its slowly spreading habit might
displace some native plants over time.

an invasive species.
