Native to the mountainous regions of western North America, it thrives in cool, moist environments. This plant is often found in meadows and along forest edges, where it contributes to the ecological diversity of its habitat. Its appearance makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardening and landscape design. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in mainstream horticultural discussions.
