PlantLegit is informational, not legal advice. Check with your locality (city or county) or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office before you plant, sell or remove anything. Not professional advice.
Invasive-species and noxious-weed flags reflect the Virginia DCR invasive plant list (2024) and the Virginia noxious weed regulation (2VAC5-317) as of the dates shown. "Not listed" only means a plant is not named on that list as of that date; it does not mean the plant is safe or allowed everywhere. The running-bamboo summary describes Va. Code § 15.2-901.1 and local ordinances we found; localities may adopt or change rules at any time.
Hardiness zones, light, water and size come from NC State Extension where marked as verified; other values are estimates. Plants can perform differently on your site.
Laws, ordinances, HOA rules and published lists change. Always check your city or county ordinances, your HOA, and the original source linked in the app before you act. Nothing in PlantLegit creates a professional or client relationship with Virginia State Home Inspections LLC.
