Thrives in full sun with average moisture in a somewhat sandy soil. Can be found along roadsides, in abandoned fields, slopes, vacant lots and ditches.
Its roots during the first year of growth are edible and the seeds are important as bird feed. Seeds can remain viable in the soil for up to 70 years.
