おもしろい事実

Its name 'locoweed' comes from 'loco,' meaning crazy in Spanish, because animals act strangely after eating it!

Some Native American tribes traditionally used parts of the plant for ceremonial purposes, despite its toxicity.

The seeds can lie hidden in the soil for decades, waiting for just the right time to sprout!

Woolly Locoweed works with tiny soil bacteria to help enrich the dirt with nitrogen, a vital plant nutrient!
