This species found in dry, well-drained, sandy soils of sandhills, limerock and dune habitats (Weakley 2015, FSU Herbarium). It is also found in longleaf pine-turkey oak hills and ridges, pine flatwoods on limerock, wiregrass-palmetto flatwoods, sandy upland old fields, ridges of sand pine scrub, and sand pine-evergreen oak scrub (FSU Herbarium). This species does well with high light intensity in open and semi opened areas (FSU Herbarium). It can also be found in disturbed areas such as sandy vacant lots, roadsides, ditches, railroad banks, pine plantations, and waste grounds (FSU Herbarium)
