Rich deciduous forests, thickets by streams, occasionally in swamps. Sometimes somewhat weedy in habit.
A form lacking the purple lines on the petals has been named f. albiflora Farw. The species is easily distinguished from the more common and widespread white-flowered V. canadensis by the green, fringed stipules (rather than scarious, entire ones) and absence of blue color on the outside of the petals, which is normally conspicuous in V. canadensis.
