Its range includes Belgium, Canada, and the United States, where it typically grows in grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes.

As an orchid, it depends on mycorrhizal fungi for germination and early establishment. Its conservation status has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. Common Ladies' Tresses is considered a late-season bloomer in temperate North America and is valued as an indicator of high-quality natural habitats where it persists.
