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 widespread species is distributed from the Aleutian
Islands across most of mainland Alaska and down the Pacific Coast to near
San Francisco, California. Distribution covers the Pacific Northwest
states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, with fingers of distribution in
the higher elevations extending southward in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
to southern California and the Rocky Mountains through western Montana,
Wyoming, western Colorado, and northern Arizona. From the northwest, the
southern boundary of distribution extends eastward across southern Canada
and then dips southeastward across northeastward Minnesota and across the
northern Great Lakes region before moving northeastward across New York
and the New England states. The northern boundary of distribution extends
north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska almost to the Arctic Coast in
Canada's Northwest Territories and then dips southeastward to the southern
end of Hudson Bay where it curves northeastward to southern Labrador and
Newfoundland. In Europe, plants have been found in scattered locations in
Ireland and the Hebrides. Throughout its range, plants are found in a
variety of habitats from bogs to deep sphagnum to heath and tundra, to
rich, open woodlands. Plants reportedly grow full sun on damp to wet,
acidic substrates in peat bogs and coastal marshes. In Oregon, plants may
be found from near sea level to about 9850 ft. (3000 m), growing in full
sun along coastal grasslands and cliffs as well as in wet meadows that dry
by late summer and along streams and bogs in the mountains.
