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.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
This species is also introduced in Canada and Mexico; we have yet to build these portions of its map.
↑Notes
We found some sources, including USDA PLANTS, referring to this plant as "Common Wormwood", but that name usually refers to common wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). Similarly, some sources reference the common name "old man" but this name is more frequently used to refer to southernwood (Artemisia abrotanum).
