This species is found in damp, even swampy locations, usually in the presence of sphagnum moss. It can be seen growing in fields among other short plants and grasses. May be seen growing in side ditches or anywhere sufficient moisture is present. It may also occur in a woodland setting but this is rare because of its light requirements.

The pitcher plant grows in bogs. Since the soil in bogs is very low in nitrogen, it must get its nitrogen from eating insects.
