In the Coastal Plain in Florida and Georgia, ''S. fistulosa'' has occurred in wet hammocks, cabbage palm-slash pine hammocks, slash pine woodlands, lake margins, open ditches bordering swamps, shores of cypress ponds, thickets bordering cypress-gum depressions, floodplain woodlands, a ''Cladium'' brackish marsh, dried out cypress depressions, and marshy areas. It also has been found in disturbed areas such as roadside depressions, black sandy peat of a logged over hillside bog, clear-cut sand pine scrub ridge, old pastures, and a drainage ditch bordering pine flatwoods (FSU Herbarium). Soils include loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy peat, and clay (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include ''Euthamia minor, Eupatorium, Xyris, Rhynchospora fascicularis'' and ''Hypericum cistifolium'' (FSU Herbarium).
