Neviusia alabamensis is naturally found in south-eastern North America from Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi to Alabama growing in woodlands and commonly along water courses. 

It prefers an open sunny position and grows in most well-drained fertile moist sandy to clay loams and is frosts and drought tolerant.

The Alabama Snow-wreath is grown for its flowers and a bushy habit. It is planted in parks and gardens along borders as a specimen and is used in woodland settings. It is suitable for inland regions establishing in 3-5 years and is moderately long-lived. It is also used in commercial sites requiring little care once established but may be difficult to obtain outside its native region. ID 3573

Note:
In a natural setting the flowers are pure white but under cultivation they tend to be cream-coloured.
