Impatiens glandulifera is tall glabrous annual (up to 3 m height) native to the foothills of the Himalayas from north-west Pakistan to northern India. It was introduced as a garden ornamental into Europe. Impatiens glandulifera occurs predominately in riparian systems where it can form dense monocultures along river banks. Native herbaceous plants can be out-competed by the dense growth of the species. It also can be found along railway embankments, roadside ditches and in wet meadows.
