|phenology=Flowering late spring–early summer.
|habitat=Xeric sandhills, xeric to dry pine-oak uplands, oak barrens and heaths, mesic to wet pine flatwoods and pine barrens, dry to moist pine savannas, sometimes in seepage communities
|elevation=0-1200 m
|distribution=Ala.;Fla.;Ga.;La.;Miss.;N.C.;S.C.;Tenn.;Va.;W.Va.
|discussion=<p>Gaylussacia dumosa and G. bigeloviana have been confused due to a reliance on insufficient characters to distinguish them and due to descriptions and ranges that were based partly on misidentified specimens. Gaylussacia dumosa is a low shrub of the coastal plain and lower piedmont, with scattered occurrences in the upper piedmont and at moderate elevations in the mountains.</p>
