What is a non-native plant?
A non-native plant is a plant that is accidentally or intentionally distributed outside of its historic range by human activities. For example, a species from Europe and Asia planted as an ornamental in the USA is considered a non-native plant. Humans may transport USA species to regions outside of their native range, but which are still within the USA . For example, a California poppy growing in Alabama would be considered a non-native plant.
