Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
A non-native, perennial vine, it will grow up to three feet high. While a bear to beat back, the good news is, it requires disturbed ground (like roadsides) and can’t tolerate being shaded out by trees or shrubs. For these reasons, its impact as an invasive species on the Pass is minimal.
