This wildflower is native to the western United States from California to Colorado, where it grows in woodlands and rocky mountainous habitat. It is a small perennial daisy attaining a maximum height from 10 to 40 centimeters. It grows in clumps with leaves and erect stems covered in dense white or silvery hairs.
