Good idea. I tried to find the clutter macro with probability map
but couldn't find it so i made my own. I used the map to place the
plants in the visible area only to optimise polygon use. Maybe two
or more groups of plants (tall, medium, short) and a map for each
so that tall ones are close to wall etc. And LOD control too where
high detail versions are placed close to camera and low polycount
versions far away.

This place has been left in the middle of the woods for close to
100 years so I think this kind of vegetation is in place :)
