Giant Hogweed is a large, invasive plant native to the Caucasus region. It can grow up to 14 feet tall and has thick, hollow stems covered in purple spots. The plant produces large clusters of white flowers that can reach over a foot in diameter.
This plant is known for its harmful effects on humans. Its sap contains chemicals that can cause severe skin burns and blisters when exposed to sunlight. Due to its aggressive growth, Giant Hogweed can outcompete native plants, disrupting local ecosystems and posing a threat to biodiversity.
