Is balsam a non flowering plant?

Answer 1

The Himalayan Balsam weed, which is rapidly spreading along water courses and anywhere it is damp in the UK, produces seeds that burst out and are flung away from the parent plant, when a person or animal brushes against the ripe seed pods.

Answer 2

Though the Himalayan Balsam is considered a very invasive weed of wet places, it does produce very scented flowers, on tall stalks. This scent is very noticeable when near a ditch or stream that the balsam has colonised. When brushing against the ripe seed pods, seeds are shot out and can be dispersed over a wide area.
