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 sometimes cultivated in gardens; it has expanded its range westward slightly, probably mostly from garden escapes. We mark the new range as expanded because it is contiguous with the native range.
