The Piedmont Ringlet occurs on a variety of grassy places in and near woods. The female lays her eggs on many different grasses, including fescues (Festuca spp.), Wavy Hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa), Mat-grass (Nardus stricta), and several sorts of bent (Agrostis spp.). At very high altitudes, when the caterpillars are half-grown, they hibernate in the litter layer. They may hibernate twice before pupating deep down in the vegetation.
