The Wild Prairie Rose is native to a large area of central North America, although it's concentrated in the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. You'll find it growing like wildfire across all of North Dakota: along roadsides, in pastures, in native meadows, along the foothills and even in cities. The extravagant pink perennial can sometimes be weedy or invasive.
