Virgin’s Bower can be found in meadows and savannas. They climb readily up fences and existing vegetation with their woody stems. Their leaves are trifoliate and lightly lobed. The flowers appear all over the plant in clouds of white. The seeds that follow are tightly packed and have long hairs to help spread them, creating a unique texture. This species can be found with Carex stricta, Eutrochium maculatum, and Solidago gigantea.
