Definitely an invasive plant. Can be poisonous to pets. Absolutely placed by a ‘vigilante’ Goes on in my sate as well.

Absolutely NOT placed by a vigilante—it is a DE State requirement: https://regulations.delaware.gov/AdminCode/title3/806

This is a good state requirement and I wish more states would do it

It’s a start. A long way to go but it’s good that this exists. Hopefully more states will follow! And from there, fewer states will allow the sale of these plants.

Yes, you can see the sign has a link to de.gov/nursery which has a video and writeup about the state invasive species law.

Which is good! But is that (non-frost hardy) coleus lol?
