P. dilatatum occurs in natural communities such as cypress-pond pine swamps, riverbanks, pond shores, floodplains, along limestone glades, fire lanes, and flatwoods. It will also grow in areas prone to human disturbance such as vacant lots, forest edges, ditches, roadsides, and lawns. P. dilatatum has been found growing in shaded or sunny conditions in sand, loamy sand, and loamy clay.[2]
Associated species of P. dilatatum include Houstonia nigricans, Rudbeckia triloba, Panicum anceps, Cladium sp., Panicum plicatulum, Panicum urvillei, Sporobolus vaginiflorus, Sida ulmifolia, Oxalis debilis, and Calyptocarpus vialis.[2]
