- Comments
- According to vouchers, catnip has not much nativized in the Watershed. It has been found only along Hwy 160 east of Wolf Creek pass, in Park Creek campground off Hwy 160, in a vacant lot in Alamosa, and by a driveway in Del Norte. The last plant, adventitious, has persisted for eight years, since 2014. Nativized plants have been recorded from nearly every state in the USA, with a clear trend toward the colder regions. There are Rio Grande drainage locations in New Mexico down to Socorro, but no farther down stream.
