In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Alabama, T. setaceum can be found in upland pine-hardwood forests, pinewoods, turkey oak-longleaf pine barrens, sand ridges, longleaf pine/scrub oak/wiregrass ridges, sandhill oak scrubs, and wiregrass-longleaf pine communities (FSU Herbarium). It is a ruderal species and can be found in cleared pine forests, turkey oak sand ridge clearings, and roadsides. Soil types include loamy sand and loamy soil (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include Vaccinium stamineum, Warea, Agalinis, Liatris, and Dicerandra (FSU Herbarium).
