Forested to open dunes along Lake Michigan; sandy fields and knolls; fencerows and dry bluffs or banks; rarely in moister sites along rivers and edges of floodplain forests.
The species is variable, but almost all Michigan plants are var. trifoliata. A few from the Lake Michigan area have been referred to var. mollis Torr. & A. Gray, which differs in having dense pubescence on twigs, leaves, and inflorescences. The Upper Peninsula collection is escaped from cultivation.
