This plant grows in coastal habitat types, such as mudflats, estuaries, and marshes, but in freshwater or slightly brackish water. It may be submerged at times. It grows in mud or cobbly gravel or sand. The substrate is often subject to scouring from water action, including tides and floods. The plant can tolerate a wide range of water chemistry.
