Pink sandverbena is found in open, sandy habitat (dunes and beaches). This species requires ephemeral sites created by storms.
Limiting factors
Pink sandverbena has narrow habitat requirements. Habitat loss due to European beachgrass invasion and impacts from off-highway vehicles threaten this species. Winter storms can destroy plants but also create new habitat and disperse seeds.
Data gaps
Develop methods to recruit new plants into wild populations.
Conservation actions
Continue efforts to control European beachgrass and manage off-highway vehicle use at known sites of occurrence. Continue to monitor populations.
