Canada columbine prefers dry and sandy soils, rocks, deciduous forests, cliffsides and rock debris at the base of slopes. It grows in full sunlight or partial shade. In Québec, we can find it in the St. Lawrence Lowlands and very occasionally farther north, to Rimouski. It is found in Ontario and Québec, from New England south to Georgia, and from Wisconsin to Tennessee, in the west.
