This species thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is commonly found in wetlands and grassy areas. Its compact growth habit and ornamental appeal make it a popular choice for landscaping. Despite its beauty, it plays an important ecological role in supporting local wildlife and maintaining soil stability.
