Reported in flower
Only 10 records here show flowers, too few to show a flowering season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.
Reported in fruit
Only 2 records here show fruit, too few to show a fruiting season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.
In Ohio
Mid-April to late August, middle week May 24–30
Records per week from 2,047 records in 10 of the 10 years from 2016 to 2025. Shows when people recorded it, not how common it is. The grey bars show how many records of all species were made here each week, so you can see when recording itself was high or low; the season is not adjusted by them.
Recorded on 773 dates. Latest record: December 2025.

Reported in flower
Usually reported in flower late April to late June, middle week May 17–23.
From 65 records that show flowers. Not every photo of a plant in flower is marked as flowering, so this shows when people reported it in flower, not when it flowers.
Reported in fruit
No fruiting season shown here. The weeks are still too uncertain to show a season.
What these results show
These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
