Ecology
Habitat
Agalinis tenuifolia commonly grows in distrubred sites, including clear cut areas. Large populations may also be found growing at the margins of ditches and in other wet or moist habitats. [1] It can be found in undisturbed grasslands and areas with low soil nutrients. Native vegetation, often including Agalinis tenuifolia, can be completely destroyed and replaced by weeds and soil nutrients increase dramatically when Ring-billed Gulls and other species of gulls nest from April to June.
