It is native to the North America, where its natural range extends from the United States south to Nicaragua.[2] In the United States, it is found primarily in the Great Plains and in the Blackland Prairies of the Southeast.[3] Elsewhere in North America, it is occasionally found as a non-persisting waif.[4] Its natural habitat is in open grassy areas, including prairies. It can be found in both high-quality natural communities and in disturbed areas.[4][5]
Glandularia bipinnatifida is an herbaceous or semi-woody perennial.[2] It produces pink or purple flowers primarily in the spring, but can bloom anytime throughout the growing season.[5] Its leaves are finely dissected, into segments that are 1–4 mm wide. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Glandularia pulchella by its long flower bracts, and wider leaf segments.[4]
