Several Commelina species occur in North America, both native and introduced; this species has the widest distribution of the introduced species, and extends the farthest north of any of the species, being the only Commelina in the northern part of its range.
Of the native species, C. erecta has the widest distribution and C. diffusa and C. virginica also are widely distributed, but all three have a more southerly distribution, although they overlap with this species over a wide area.
