It grows in mixed habitats ranging from Pine forests through Joshua Tree woodlands, always on the edges of the desert, but not in the desert. Erba santa is good for erosion control. It will sucker along roots and tie-up an area. It's very drought tolerant. It is a pioneer plant that grows in disturbed soil so grows best in full sun.
