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 has established a few isolated populations east of its native range; wee classify it as expanded because it is not widely cultivated, and has tended to spread onto its own into new habitats such as roadsides.
