Black henbane, an invasive and toxic plant species, is becoming more common in Calgary green spaces, thanks in part to the weather.
“Weeds tend to be better competitors in poor conditions,” Vardiel explained. “So, when we’re having very dry conditions, those weeds just tend to pop up and out-compete those native species.” Kath Smyth, a horticulturalist with the Calgary Horticultural Society, said the dry conditions have caused the weed to seed quickly which will naturally increase its spread.
