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 weedy plant is not usually cultivated; it has spread eastward into some new areas. We marked a few of these populations introduced because they are separated from the native range by large distances, but they could easily be marked expanded as well.
