E. perfoliatum has been found in pine-sweetgum forests, magnolia-live oak floodplain communities, hardwood swamps, and cabbage palm-slash pine hammocks. It can grow in open to semi-shaded conditions, usually in wet, sandy or loamy soils. E. perfoliatum can also occur in areas with soil disturbance including roadsides, right-of-ways, clearings, forest edges and areas rooted by hogs.[2]

Associated species of E. perfoliatum include Eupatorium capillifolium and Eupatoruim x pinnatifidum.[2]
