Coriopsis

This plant is listed as a weed species in some parts of Australia but not by Brisbane City Council.

So far I have spotted it in two places in our area- on the roadside near the waste transfer station and also in some bushland where it was obviously dumped with garden waste.  It was removed from both areas and as it didn't seem to be too invasive I have replanted a few clumps in our yard-  it has very attractive flowers and it seems to be drought tolerant- both of which are appealing to me. I am reasonably confident it will be ok as a plant in our garden and climate but will monitor it closely.
