In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: I Rank=High/medium; Potentilla recta is widespread in the U.S. Potentilla recta occurs in open grasslands, shrubby areas, open forest, logged areas, roadsides, waste areas, and abandoned fields. Potentilla recta is very competitive in native grasslands and can become dominant in forest habitats where tree cover has been reduced. However, it does not occur in full shade. Potentilla recta is becoming one of the most serious wildland invaders in the northern Rocky Mountains. Although Potentilla recta commonly colonizes and dominates disturbed sites, it is also capable of invading relatively undisturbed sites.(NatureServe 2007).
