Dry to (usually) moist sandy shores, even marshy places and sometimes with jack pine.
This species tends to have opposite leaves at more nodes than L. virginianum, usually at more than half (and sometimes all) the nodes below the inflorescence (counting the lowermost nodes, from which leaves may have fallen). Furthermore, the inflorescence is more open and elongate (“paniculate”) than in L. virginianum.
