Some studies suggest that it could potentially become invasive ( Qin and Wu 2013 and Wirth et al. 2020a ). This species had only been recorded once in Hungary, with one specimen found in a flower bed near the parent plants at Pecs (S Hungary) ( Wirth et al. 2020a ). In the new locality in Budapest, we could not find the propagule source nearby.
