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 widely cultivated in gardens and also planted in artificial wetlands and holding basins; it can escape cultivation, and as a result has expanded slightly northward into Minnesota. We mark this new population as expanded because of proximity to its native range.
