Alien Invasives Aliens, or exotics, are species that do not naturally occur in the Southeast but have been introduced by people. Many exotic plants pose no threat, but some are invasive and grow out of control displacing native plants which provide food and shelter for an assortment of native wildlife. We recommend that you do not plant these species, expecially near a natural area. For more information, see the US Fish & Wildlife handout "Invasive Plants in Our Backyards," download the brochure "Invasive Plant Pest Species of South Carolina," or visit these websites: Southeast
