This species has been observed to grow in open pine woods along the edges of depression ponds, longleaf pine-oak-wiregrass sandhill communities, sparsely wooded ecotone borders of limestone glades, longleaf pine-turkey oak flats and sand ridges, xeric sand pine scrub, upland pine oak woodlands, and clearings within mixed woodland forests (FSU Herbarium). This plant has been seen growing in open and partial shaded environments in dry, loamy, and loose sands asd well as moist sandy clay loam (FSU Herbarium). Also growing in human disturbed areas, G. ambiguus has been observed in powerline corridors, along trails, on pine plantations, and on open fields (FSU Herbarium).
