It is native to the central and eastern Canada (from New Brunswick to Manitoba) and parts of the United States (mostly Great Lakes region, the Northeast, the Ozarks, and the northern Great Plains, with isolated populations in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, and scattered locations in the Southeast.

Upland White Goldenrod is distinctive within the genus in its display of white to cream-colored flowers, it’s bobbing heads arranged in a flat-topped corymb (Flowers in a corymb structure can either be parallel, or alternate, and form in either a convex, or flat form) rather than in an elongated raceme.
