T. recurvatum grows in the eastern and central United States, centered in Illinois and Indiana but ranging over at least sixteen states to some extent, from eastern Oklahoma to western North Carolina, north to central Wisconsin and south to southeastern Texas. The plant can be found in deciduous forests throughout its range, although it especially prefers moister, limestone-rich soil. This includes ravines, floodplain and mesic forests, moist oak savannas (especially in Illinois and Indiana), and southern hardwood forests.
