Native in the range from Western British Columbia to northwest California along the coastal range. It is a native plant that works well in my region as a garden plant for shady areas.

When dried for tea the sweet aroma of vanilla makes for a pleasant tea to mix with other wild plants like stinging nettle and rose hips or have by itself.

I like this opinion
