Sphagnum bogs, open acid swamp forests, sandy or peaty lakes shores in strongly acidic soils; best developed in full sun.
This is a distinctive and striking fern often forming large colonies, by long-creeping rhizomes, forming an edging to the open portions of bogs, with the leaves all facing towards the sunny mat. Sometimes separated as Anchistea virginica (L.) C. Presl.
