Trends
S. spurium was introduced to cultivation in 1816. It is often grown in gardens and frequently escapes to form very persistent colonies; it was known from the wild by 1910. The many new records since the 1962 Atlas probably indicate a real spread rather than better recording of aliens.
World Distribution
Native of the Caucasus; widely naturalised in temperate W. Europe.
