Varieties: none.[1]
Description
This species is abundant where it is found.[2]
A description of Liatris pilosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
The range of L. pilosa extends from New Jersey, Deleware, and Pennsylvania, then south to South Carolina.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
This species is found within well-drained stands of longleaf pine, sandhill slopes, and mixed hardwood-pine flatwoods as well as disturbed areas such as clear-cut slash pine plantations.[2] It has been observed to grow in open light conditions in red, sandy clays.[2] L. pilosa responds negatively to soil disturbance by heavy silviculture in North Carolina.[3] When exposed to soil disturbance by military training in West Georgia, L. pilosa responds negatively by way of absence.[4]
Phenology
This species has been observed flowering from September through October and fruiting in October.[2]
Fire ecology
This species grows in areas that are burned.[2]
