normally not a good idea as they will introduce themeselfs into your surrounding areas and alot of our plants are very very invasive!! stick with your native plants for outdoor use or something that cant survive if it is released into the wild, ex: by you, a animal, a flood, a seed from it flowering, there are many things you need to look at as a whole. if its in a place of a controlled enviroment then ok but normally its not a wise plan.
