Ecology.

Growing in open rich marshy meadows, along stream margins and in sandy terrain amongst low scrub, sea level to 1300 m. of elevation. Flowering in July and August. Germination epigeal. It is worth noting that both diploid and triploid plants have been found in Korea and that plants have been observed to produce subterranean stolons that extended to as much as 2 m in length ( Kim et al. 2016: 104).
