Description
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
It requires wet summers and dry winters.[1]It can be found in pocosin communities[2], flatwoods communities[3], and longleaf pine communities[4].
Phenology
Seed dispersal
It accounted for .29% of a late-summer Virginia pocosin seed bank.[2]
Seed bank and germination
Fire ecology
It responds best to a moderate-severity level burn. It recovers from fire by resprouting and seed.[1] It significantly decreased over 25 years after fire in a scrubby flatwoods[5]
