- Shade-tolerant
- Intentionally spread by people
- Biology and ecology poorly understood
Low Risk Traits:
- No records of naturalization or invasiveness reported
- Unarmed (no spines, thorns or burrs)
- Landscaping and ornamental value (showy flowers)
- Medicinal uses
- Low seed set (suggesting limited dispersibility)
