Sandy, gravelly, and rocky sites, often calcareous; shores, open forests (oak, aspen, jack pine) and clearings, dunes and ridges, sometimes in moister ground or at the borders of lakes and marshes.
In such characters as leaf size, depth of rhizome, shape of inflorescence, and sepal length, this is an extremely variable species, especially in our area, where some or all plants have sometimes been referred to a segregate, C. richardsiana Fernald.
