Weed Potential
Right plant wrong place. We are currently updating this section.
Please note that a plant may be invasive in one area but may not in your area so it’s worth checking.
Noted as weedy in two areas. The first is in southern regions of the North Island of New Zealand, where the evidence strongly suggests it is not native, but instead consists of culturally established populations, with adjacent escapees. The second is in Hawaii where it was originally planted but has since turned aggressive, being given a score of 7/10 in the Pacific Island Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) assessment, and rated as "high risk".
