Is found in wet pine flatwoods, edges of cypress swamps, edges of pine palmetto habitats, Longleaf pine uplands, and in dry pine woods and savannas. Is also found in human disturbed areas such as open fields, embankments, areas that have been logged and clear cut. Requires semi-shaded areas. Is associated with areas that have drying loamy sand, loose sand, where limestone underlies the surface in flatwoods, and well-drained slopes of Longleaf pine forests (FSU Herbarium).
