Intentionally introduced plant species form a significant proportion of non-native floras all over the world.Many species that became naturalized or even invasive in new regions following introduction are still being planted in gardens, alongside with those that may became so in the future.In our project, we combine data from floristic inventories of private gardens, using the frequency of planting as a proxy for propagule pressure, with that from a common garden study, where we collect comparative data on species traits under standardized conditions.
