Habitat:  Dry limestone slopes, limestone rocks, cliff ledges, scree, shingle, chalk quarries, banks etc. Ssp arenarium grows on open or closed dunes, ssp majus in damp shady places chiefly by streams and lakes

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most fairly good humus rich well-drained soils in sun or semi-shade[1, 111]. Plants can be invasive when grown in light soils but do not spread so much in heavy soils[208]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233]. A greedy plant, inhibiting the growth of nearby plants, especialy legumes[54]. A highly polymorphic species, difficult to treat taxonomically[17]. Some forms are dwarf and usually make dense clumps in the garden, larger forms are more invasive, especially in light soils, and can be a nuisance[233].
