This plant can be found in full sun,
on shaded damp north facing slopes, or almost anywhere that the tops of the flowers can
reach above the surrounding foliage. It grows from near the coast to many locations
in the Coast Ranges and the Sierra foothills. From watching it grow it seems that
the only hard and fast requirement is that they dry out in the summer.
