Impact

Montanoa hibiscifolia is deliberately cultivated as a garden plant, but has escaped cultivation and become a weed of roadsides, riparian zones (banks of watercourses) and rainforest margins. It has been listed as a noxious weed in South Africa and Hawaii.(prohibited plants that must be controlled. They serve no economic purpose and possess characteristics that are harmful to humans, animals or the environment). For more information from the Queensland Government
