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 planted in gardens, and occasionally escapes into the wild, leading to a few isolated populations north of its native range. We marked them as expanded because of the proximity to the native range, but they are isolated enough that they could probably be marked introduced as well, particularly the Ohio populations.
