Thought this was interesting......
Oregon puts Buddleia davidii on noxious weed list. The Ore. State Weed 
Board placed Buddleia davidii on its noxious weed B list. There is no 
quarantine, and homeowners will not be asked to remove the plant from 
landscapes, but the state has started eradication efforts and an awareness 
program. Officials reported large populations of B. davidii in Coos County 
outcompeting Douglas fir seedlings and hampering reforestation efforts. The 
listing applies to the species only, and the state recognized that many 
cultivars and hybrids are not invasive. Ore. St. Univ. North Willamette 
Research and Extension Center scientists are researching which cultivars 
are least likely to escape into native areas.
