Native Range: Ornithogalum umbellatum is native to North Africa as well as Europe. In Europe, it is found from Portugal and Spain in the west, south to Italy, north to parts of France and east to Turkey (Rhoades and Block, 2000).; Data Source: http://plants.usda.gov, 10 August 2007 Legacy NPSpecies information may no longer be applicable, please remove if it is not applicable. In legacy NPSpecies Weedy value was Yes with comment: Lawns, old fields, bottomlands, forests; commonly cultivated and persistent and naturalizing. (Weakley 2007) In legacy NPSpecies Pest value was Yes with comment: Natureserve I-Rank: Medium/Low. I-Rank Reasons Summary: The species is widely distributed in the United States except in the Rocky Mountain region and has become invasive in open meadow and grassland areas with a few occurrences in older growth woodland stands but decreasing with forest succession. The plant disperses easily and reproduces readily but control is not very difficult or impactfull. More research is needed on impacts at the ecosystem level and on native species/communities of concern.
