Watsonia bulbifera

It depends who buys the plants and where they plant them as to whether it
will become a pest or not. In Europe it will probably never escape,
particularly in the colder parts. But in Australia or New Zealand or
California it will and has! It needs winter rain and doesn't like cold
temperatures as it grows in winter. It also doesn't like warm wet summers
as the corms can rot. So in many parts of the USA it may not become a
weed. I would be careful in France , Italy, Spain and Portugal too.
