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 also native through much of Mexico and through Central and South America; we have yet to build the portion of its range map in Mexico.
