The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: This variety is found in the Pacific Northwest from northern California northward through Oregon, Washington, and British Colombia to the southern tip of southeast Alaska. Luer (1975) reported that this variety "is more similar to the typical variety found nearly half a world away in Eurasia, than to its much closer neighbor, var. americana. Plants are found all along the Coast Range from California northward, in the Sierra Nevada of northern California, in the Cascades Mountains of Oregon and Washington, with distribution extending eastward to the Blue Moutons of Eastern Oregon [where I have found them growing at about 2000 ft. (610 m) near La Grande] and into the mountains of Idaho. Large populations have been reported in the Olympic Mountains of western Washington, with plants found even down to near sea level near Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. Plants normally are found growing in rather shady conditions among mosses and small ferns under pine or fir trees in a thick layer of duff [usually 2-4 in. (5-10 cm) deep] comprised of fallen needles from conifer trees as well as other decomposing forest detritus that lies over rocky or sandy soil that provides excellent drainage. Plants may also be found growing over clay soil, but the ground must slope so that water is able to drain away quickly. The roots generally do not actually penetrate the underlying soil, but are so intertwined with other roots and material that it is virtually impossible to remove a plant from its natural setting and have it survive. These plants probably are heavily dependent on mycorrhizal fungi for their nutrients and generally do not live long if removed from their natural site, even if by some miracle they are removed with the roots undamaged.
Although found mostly at higher elevations in mountains in areas that experience cold temperatures in winter, the loose, fluffy duff in which they grow along with the snow cover provides excellent insulation so that the temperature around the corm does not actually drop much below freezing, if it even gets that cold. Growers attempting to grow plants artificially propagated from seed should provide a dry to barely moist winter rest with the plant cooled down to below 40F (4C) for several months. In colder areas when the plants are left in the ground over winter, a deep mulch of leaves should prevent the plant from becoming too cold.
