Oak savanna, sandy clearings, roadsides, and railroads; perhaps originally native (if at all) only in southwestern Michigan, where collected in Berrien Co. by the First Survey as early as 1838. The dark purplish-gray inflorescences are now striking in early fall along freeways, especially in the medians. The axis and branches of the inflorescence are usually covered with sticky dots. An “albino” variant with yellow inflorescences has been collected in Livingston Co.
