Roadsides, railroads, fields, farmyards, and other disturbed sites. First collected in 1920 in Washtenaw Co.
In areas of the Great Lakes region where both this and C. nutans are common and regularly co-occur, hybrids (C. ×orthocephalus Wallr.) are regular. These have not yet been seen in Michigan, but doubtless will be found in time.
