Claspleaf pennycress thrives best in soil with a high concentration of limestone, on crumbling walls, or near farmland. Modern farming practices have brought this plant to the brink of extinction, including plowing in the fall to get the land ready for next year. Since autumn is when this species germinates, and one of its favorite places to grow is farmland, plowing destroys the nascent plants.
