Riesenbärenklau: Unverwüstlich wie Herkules

Der Riesenbärenklau, auch Herkulesstaude genannt, ist ein Problem. Er liefert zwar Nektar für Insekten, aber sein Saft ist die Ursache übler Hautentzündungen beim Menschen. Wer die Staude loshaben will, muss sie mit Stumpf und Stiel ausrotten.

von Christa Vogl

Schon aufgrund seiner Höhe wirkt der Riesenbärenklau exotisch. Er verbreitet einen Hauch Dschungelatmosphäre.
