    Thank you for the answer on Tellima grandiflora. Is it now naturalized in the Northeast or just a coincidence that it was growing at the Garden?

    Answer

    Dear Jgreco, good question. It has been planted at the garden and grows there in cultivation (i.e., being tended). To become naturalized, it would need to found outside of the garden in another location, and have evidence of its reproduction (of some form). Best wishes.
