A weed in a wide range of habitats where competition has been reduced by disturbance, overgrazing or previous grazing by sheep. Rarely invades undisturbed native vegetation and does not establish in cultivated paddocks. Prefers alkaline soils with low ground cover and rainfall of more than 200 mm. Seed spread by burrs attaching to animals and equipment, by water or in dung. Invasive, producing large numbers of long-lived seeds; causes vegetable fault in wool.
