This species can live in humid, subtropical climates in drying sandy loam on the edges of woodland remnants, shade of mesic woodlands, xeric limestone prairies, open old-field pine woods, and sandy clay of the Red Hills (Burton 2009, FSU Herbarium, McCain and Ebinger 2014). It can live in communities dominated by post oak as well (Burton 2009). This species is also found in disturbed habitats such as upland pine-hardwoods, partially wooded vacant lots, and beside trail edges (FSU Herbarium).
