It is native to the Eastern United States where it is found in coastal areas, with disjunct populations in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau.[1] It is mostly found in habitats with wet, sandy, acidic soils such as flatwoods and southern bogs.[2]

It is a small, delicate perennial that produces pale blue flowers in the late summer.
