This species can be found in several native habitats, but also in disturbed areas. Native habitat types include wet pine savanna (Brewer et al 2011), hillside bogs, seasonally inundated meadows, damp grassy palmetto woods, and on the edges of ponds, creeks and titi thickets (FSU Herbarium). It also occurs in disturbed habitat like powerline corridors, roadsides, railways, pine plantations, and borrow pits (FSU Herbarium).
