Smallflower tamarisk possesses a transcontinental distribution, predominantly existing within parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region where it finds its native habitat. Beyond its indigenous range, smallflower tamarisk has established itself in various locales across continents, including North America, Oceania, and Africa, with cultivation efforts aiding in its spread. In certain areas where smallflower tamarisk has been introduced, it is sometimes thought to be a species that may have an impact on local ecosystems, albeit with concern expressed cautiously. This species is not without appreciation, as its presence in regions outside of its native range is often the result of intentional cultivation, suggesting a level of human-induced dispersal.
