Trailing krameria is a plant that naturally occurs in the North American region. It has not been widely introduced or naturalized outside its native range, thus remains primarily localized to its area of origin in North America.

An unsightly and gaunt garden weed of temperate climates, trailing krameria is a rapidly growing and toxic weed. This species produces very few flowers that only last a short time, afterwords becoming barren for the rest of the year. Their trailing stems can climb up to 12 m, and cling to structures with their adhesive-like tips, making removal difficult. Trailing krameria also leeches nutrients out of nearby plants, enabling them to colonize an area and spread even more aggressively. The berries are toxic to humans, and every part of the plant contains raphides, which can cause various skin reactions. A combination of root pulling and herbicides provides the best results when removing this weed.
