Ecology
Habitat
This species can live in humid, subtropical climates in drying sandy loam on the edges of woodland remnants, shade of mesic woodlands, xeric limestone prairies, open old-field pine woods, and sandy clay of the Red Hills.[1][2][3] It can live in communities dominated by post oak as well.[1]
Phenology
S. patens has been observed flowering in January, March through May, October, and November and fruiting between October and November.[2][4]
Fire ecology
Burton found that the percent cover of S. patens showed a positive linear response to increased fire frequency.[1]
