Habitat

In the Coastal Plains in Florida and Georgia, P. carolinianus can be found in sandy old fields, sandpine-oak woodlands, moist banks bordering marshes, frequently burned mature longleaf pine-wiregrass communities, and annually burned savannas. [2] It can also be found in ditches, dry sands along parking lots, sandy vacant lots, open fields by rivers, moist bottomland pastures, along roadsides, drying sand on upper beach, trails of coastal hammocks, clearings near buildings, shores of recently made ponds, along highways, lawns, old biocontrol plots, mowed areas, fire lanes, and an access path through sandhill to a limestone trail. Associated species include Lantana, Pinus palustris, Aristida stricta, Bumelia, Crataegus, and Cenchrus. [2]

Soil types observed include sand, sandy loam, sandy peat soil, and loam soils. [2]
