DistributionEscaped at a granitic flatrock in Wake County as first noted around 2022 (iNaturalist photos). There are a number of other Research Grade photos from other counties on iNaturalist, though the website authors do not know if these refer to legit escapes that have spread or are planted populations. Likely, populations on granitic flatrocks have not been [illegally] planted.
