Description
A description of Eupatorium hyssopifolium is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
E. hyssopifolium is generally distributed from Massachusetts south to Georgia and west to Tennessee and Louisiana.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
It is found in Longleaf pine-Turkey oak sand ridges, Longleaf pine sandhills and flatwoods, pine-palmetto flatwoods, Turkey oak scrubs, Longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, and in open meadows. [2]It is also found in human disturbed areas such as old fields, roadsides and areas that have been clear cut and bulldozed.[2] It requires high levels of light.[2] It is associated with sandy loam, sand-clay loam, and sandy soil types.[2] Associated species include Andropogon.[2]
Phenology
