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 weedy and has a strong potential to become an invasive plant in new areas. It has expanded both northwest into California and northeast in New England; we mark these populations expanded rather than introduced, even if humans helped it establish, because the new range is contiguous with its native range.
