[2] Specimens have been collected from shore of fresh water spring, dense wooded hammock, sand dunes, mixed hardwood, wet hammock of bottomland, swamp border, and shore of lake. [3]
Phenology
M. grandiflora has been observed flowering April through July. [4]
Fire ecology
M. grandiflora is fire resistant, but has a low fire tolerance. [1]
