| Impatiens glandulifera, commonly known as Himalayan balsam, is a tall annual plant native to the Himalayas and widely naturalized across Europe and North America. It thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soils along riverbanks, wetlands, and disturbed habitats. The plant produces showy pink to purple flowers and explosive seed pods that aid rapid dispersal. Although attractive, it is considered an invasive species that outcompetes native vegetation, alters ecosystems, and affects soil stability and pollinator networks. |
