The germination of this plant isn't too selective over day and night as both still occur equivalently. Researchers found that the seeds of L. perennis require scarification to germinate and ideal temperatures range from 24–29C (75–85F). Wayne A. Mackay, Tim D. Davis, Daksha Sankhla, Don E.

Impacts of primary habitat loss have led to decreasing populations which are small and scattered which makes it harder for pollination to occur. Changes in land management such as prescribed burning, mowing, and mechanical thinning, would help protect and promote this plant and other plant diversity. Further research is still needed for future interventions.
