It is native to the eastern North America, where it is found in Canada and the United States. In the United States, its range is primarily centered in the Midwest, and in Canada it is only known from Ontario. Its natural habitat is in nutrient-rich alluvial forests and loamy bluffs, often on calcareous substrate.
