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.
In most of its range this species is limited to intact wild areas. It is occasionally cultivated, including fairly far outside its native range; its popularity has increased with the native plant movement. New populations have established in some areas, which we mark as expanded in the northeast, due to proximity with the native range, and introduced in Nebraska where the population is isolated.
