It requires sandy soils.[1] It is found in sparse scrub woods, woods' edges, and open fields.[2]
Phenology
Seed dispersal
It can be dispersed in a variety of ways: rain wash, transport of achenes in mud on feet of migratory waterfowl[3], ingestion of fruits by migratory waterfowl[4], and flotation of achenes (Chermezon 1924; Ridley 1930; Lye 1981)[5]It also uses animals as dispersal agents by attaching to their fur by spikelets[1]
