Ecology

Generally, E. integrifolium can be found in pine flatwoods, savannas, seepages, and other moist and nutrient-poor areas.[2] Common habitats that many specimens have been collected from include wet sandy loam of roadside ditchm, marshes, savanna pineland, pine flatwoods, loamy wet sands of wet flatwoods, and boggy wet depressions.[3] It is also listed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service as a facultative wetland species, where it most often occurs in wetland habitats, but can also occasionally be found in non-wetland habitats.[1]
Phenology
E. intregrifolium generally flowers from August until October.[2] It has been observed flowering between July and September. [4]
Pollination
This species is considered to be of special value to native bees since it attracts large numbers of native bees to pollinate.[5]
