Habitat

Found primarily on moist, sandy sites in the southeastern coastal plain, through all of Florida, north to the border with Virginia, and West through the Florida panhandle. Natural habitats include open pine flatwoods, open hammocks, cypress-gum swamps. Also frequently found in anthropogenic habitats including along roadsides, especially in ditches, in agricultural fields, vacant lots, and lawns and gardens.

This species is restricted to the coastal plain. It is usually found on sandy soils, to loamy sand in texture, but also sometimes found on peaty soils or shell rock. It is usually restricted to sites that have experienced recent vegetation-clearing disturbances.
