A widely cultivated ornamental of South American origin that became naturalised and even invasive in tropical and subtropical regions ( Lim 2014). The species only appears as a casual in Europe (e.g. Verloove 2006). There were some recent records of the species from Hungary ( Rigó 2019, Rigó and Barina 2020 and Wirth et al. 2020a).
