It used to be Pokeweed only grew in the South; Kentucky, Tennessee, W. Virginia and all points south. 20 years ago, or so I saw some in Illinois. Last year, I saw one shoot in my yard. This year, they are everywhere!
Another example; A few years ago, I planted a catmint plant(I wanted to grow my own bait for my cat traps.) It just never took off well and died. I planted another this year, but the stuff also took off wild in multiple places in the flower beds from who-knows-where.
