===As an invasive species=== [[Image:Dipsacus laciniatus.JPG|thumb|right|A stand of cut-leaved teasel]] Teasel is considered an [[invasive species]] in the United States. It is known to form a monoculture, capable of crowding out all native plant species, and therefore is discouraged or eliminated within restored open lands and other conservation areas.<ref> {{Cite web |url=https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/profile/common-teasel |title=Invasive Species: Plants β Common Teasel (''Dipsacus fullonum'') |access-date=October 16, 2011 }}</ref><ref> {{Cite web |url=http://dnr.wi.gov/invasives/fact/teasel_com.htm |title=Invasive Species β Common Teasel (''Dipsacus fullonum'' subsp.
