"Where did the hogweed plant come from?
It is native to the Caucasus Mountains and Southwest Asia, and was brought to the United States for use as an ornamental plant around 1917, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Giant hogweed can be found along roadsides and streams and in fields and forests." [Voat Library Service]
