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: The northeastern United States and extreme southeastern
Canada. This orchid is found from Michigan and Pennsylvania eastward to
the Atlantic coast northward through the New England states to southern
Maine and into southern Ontario and Quebec as well as Nova Scotia, and
southern Newfoundland in Canada. Plants are found on damp, grassy
hillsides. Luer (1975) reported that these plants grow on higher ground in
more shade than does the closely related Spiranthes cernua, that it shuns
the soggy pastures so commonly filled with S. cernua, and that when the
two species occur together, as they commonly do along roadsides in
Michigan, S. cernua will be found in full flower in the bottom of the
ditch, while S. ochroleuca will occur at the top of the ditch or farther
back in the shade of trees with the lower flowers just beginning to open.
Darnell (1976) stated that "It should be perfectly hardy in this country
(England) in an open spot in the rock garden in fairly damp, sandy loam.
