Importance and distribution in Luxembourg

Spiraea ×billardii mainly grows in ruderal areas and in riparian habitats. The first documented occurrence of the species in Luxembourg dates from 2011. It was found by Xavier Mestdagh on 27th June 2011 in the municipality of Parc Hosingen. Only five observations are indicated in the Recorder database.

The species is a sterile horticultural hybrid between S. alba et S. douglasii. It is a fast-growing rhizomatous species, propagating clonally. Just as other Spiraea species, it may easily form dense monospecific thickets smothering the native vegetation (Source: http://ias.biodiversity.be/species/show/142).

Risk assessment

ISEIA protocol: B0 (2+2+3+2) = Alert List (Ries et al. 2013: 19).
