Hardhack aka Douglas Spirea (Spiraea douglasii)

Hardhack is a pioneer species in British Columbia, which means that it is one of the first plants to grow in an area after a forest fire or other disturbance. It is very hardy and can reproduce quickly through suckers. Although it is a native species, it can be problematic if it outcompetes native species which are less hardy. However, hardhack is an important plant for native pollinator species, and its seeds also provide a food source for birds and small mammals.
