- Habitat
- In a wide range of mesic to dry upland forests, woodlands, and barrens; occasionally in alluvial forests, seepage wetlands, and depression swamps; tolerant of a wide range of soil chemistries. The ecological amplitude of this species is likely due to the incorporation of several ploidy levels and microspecies. Common throughout.
