It is native to eastern North America, where its range is centered in the Midwest and Upper South regions of the United States. Its typical natural habitat is in wet to mesic forests, in bottomlands and lower slopes. It can also occur in more open wet thickets and meadows. It is a conservative species that typically occurs in intact natural areas, and is not found in ecologically degraded sites.
