The dense, fluffy-looking flower clusters stand out prominently against the plant’s large, green, shovel-shaped leaves.
The flowers are an important identification feature, as they help distinguish Japanese Knotweed from other plants during the blooming period. Recognizing these creamy white, elongated flower clusters amidst the lush green foliage is crucial for identifying and managing this invasive species effectively, ensuring timely intervention to prevent its spread and mitigate its impact on the environment and properties
