- Naturalized outside native range (Europe, North America)
- Listed as a garden escapee and environmental weed
- Congeneric weed
- Tolerates broad climate versatility (USDA zones 3a–9b)
- Self-compatible (readily forms seed via self-pollination)
- Reproduces vegetatively via creeping rhizomes and root fragments
- Propagules dispersed unintentionally (rhizome fragments)
- Propagules dispersed intentionally by people (ornamental, hybridization)
Low Risk Traits:
- No spines, thorns, or burrs
- No evidence of toxicity to animals or humans
- No evidence of prolific seed production (>1000/m²)
- No evidence of persistent seed bank (>1 year)
- No wind, water, bird, or external animal dispersal adaptations
- Not shade tolerant (requires sun to part shade)
