The northern wormwood grows only in basalt, compacted cobble, and sand on the banks of the Columbia River. Historically, the northern wormwood grew on the banks of the Columbia from the mouth of the John Day River in Sherman County west to Hood River. The species is thought to have been entirely extirpated from Oregon, with only two pockets existing just across the river in Klickitat and Grant counties in Washington.
