Dumps and disturbed ground. An introduced species first collected in Washtenaw Co. in 1861, but only occasionally escaping and probably never persisting.
Although this grass was named by Linnaeus in recognition of its being native to the Canary Islands and North Africa, it is also true that the species provides a main constituent of commercial bird-seed, so that Canary Grass is a doubly appropriate common name.
