Taxonomic Comments

Commonly cultivated; naturalized occurrences scattered. Generally cross-pollinated. Possibly derived in Europe from hybrids between two North American species (Hickman, 1993). "A taxon apparently of garden origin, collected in sod along a roadside at Cedar Springs, Kent County, in 1895 (Fallass 813, ALBC, MSC); the Clinton County record is from a yard in 1880 (Bailey, BH) and may have been a cultivated plant" (Voss, 1985).
