Notes

USDA Plants National Database recognizes two varieties of G. viscosissimum, both native to the U.S. Variety viscosissimum is native to the upper northwestern and western states and variety incisum is native to most of the western half of the U.S., including Colorado.


This is an important larval and adult food host for many of our native invertebrates.
