Although it is the most widespread species of North American primroses,[4] P. mistassinica is considered rare or imperiled in many parts of its range.[3] Its rarity is often related to its restrictive habit requirements, particularly toward the southern extent of its range.[5] Habitats for this plant include damp cliffs, marshes, bogs, and the shores of lakes and rivers.[2][5]
