It is native primarily to northern North America, where it is found in Canada and the United States. There are also disjunct populations south in the Appalachian Mountains.[5] Its preferred habitat is wet areas such as marshes and seeps, particularly in calcareous soils.[6]

It produces white-yellow flowers in the summer. An intermediate population that suggests a transition to the more southern Triantha racemosa is found in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.[2]
