Botanical gardens promote the conservation of native species of the sites where they are located, showing the importance of preserving native flora. It is common to find invasive alien species (IAS) established intentionally or accidentally in these sites. In a patch of native vegetation within the Cadereyta de Montes Regional Botanical Garden, the removal of the invasive alien Asphodelus fistulosus was carried out and during a subsequent 108-month period. The repopulation of the species was supervised by removing new individuals at each visit. More than 1000 individual plants of A. fistulosus were removed during the entire monitoring period, and through subsequent visits, no new individuals have been spotted. The monetary cost associated with the removal, monitoring and control of A. fistulosus was calculated over MXN 15,000.00. The removal and post-removal monitoring of species at sites of interest provide valuable information about control time and economic costs to consider in the control of IAS. Additionally, the germination experiments carried out with seeds from different years of collection showed a higher germination percentage that was not affected by the age of the seeds.
