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 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.
