Hello Daniele, that's true there are some naturalized populations in Mittelfranken, Lausitz and Bavaria. The natural distribution area is North America. I spotted this one in our botanical garden. I guess I should add this bit of information. I is really interesting that they coexist with the indegenous plants, thanks!
Very interesting you have some of those naturalized in German Meik! We have them in a couple of swamp areas in Switzerland where they coexist with indigenous insectivorous plants.
