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 plant is occasionally planted in gardens, and can escape, but it also is weedy and spreads readily on its own. Its preference for disturbed habitats has allowed it to expand through roadsides, along railroads, and in pastureland. We mark the new portions of its range expanded because they are largely contiguous with its native range, except in California where there is a distant, isolated population which we mark introduced.
