Seems I saw this mentioned in an earlier post but don't recall an answer. Had some seed given to me that is almost all burnet and before I plant some I need to know if I'm asking for trouble. Anybody know? Thanks
Is burnet invasive?

I have never planted small burnett so I can't say for sure. I did some searching but couldn't find anything about it being invasive.

Valuable food for wildlife in late winter and early spring.
The variety Delar is a hardy, evergreen perennial forb with a strong tap root. More drought tolerant than unimproved strains, surviving on sites with only 12 inches of annual precipitation. Delar is winter-hardy as well.

It didn't show up on the National Invasive Species Information Center list so I think your safe...but let us know how it does for you /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
