It grows predominantly on higher ground in deciduous and mixed forests ; in western Polesie, it is associated with outcrops and close occurrence of crystalline rocks.

In floriculture censer is usually grown on soils of light texture. Requires moderate moisture. Propagated by division of rhizomes . Seeds are sown in August - September, shoots appear in April - May.
