Subject: S. purpurea in Europe

Hi all

Short intro: I live near Ljubljana, Slovenia; growing CP's ten years, mostly
VFT, Sarracenias and Droseras, (hard to get others).

I read S. purpurea is naturalised in some European countries. I planted some
plants in the bog here in Slovenia three years ago and it grows and flowers
well.

I'm interested in its behaviour in other countries where it was introduced
long ago. Which countries are these? Does it endanger other plants? Does it
reproduce itself with seeds also? Does it overgrow territories? Does it
expand to other places? Is it the menace?

I still have my plants under control and I'm able to pull them out and
prevent any damage on autochthon plants.

Kind regards

Jure
