This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
This species is also introduced in Canada and Mexico; like in the US, it also has a scattered distribution there. We have yet to build these portions of its map.
