THANK YOU for your interest in reporting invasive plants on this hotline! Unfortunately (for all of us), butterfly bush is already pretty widespread in the Portland Metro area, and is therefore not a huge priority for response in this region of the state, especially when it occurs on private property in a developed area.
Thank you again for your submission, and please feel free to report other invaders, especially those that are high priority ones in the Portland Metro region (those that are not yet widespread). We will be adding this information to this website in the near future to assist folks in determine what species we definitely want folks to report on. Thanks again!
