Yes, this plant has escaped cultivation and has taken over many area of California...it is especially widespread along the many freeways, park, and along the coast.
Freesiaperson:
It tolerates very sunny, hot inland areas and cooler coastal areas also.

Yes, where its native is doesn't snow. It's a very tough plant though...even withstanding fire.
