Found on low outcroppings, in shale, between two mountain ranges. It shares habitat with Astroloba corrugata. Astroloba smutsiana is found further south on the mountain pass.
I thought this population to be disjunct to others in the Great Karoo, but it is possible that it links up with the same species at Prince Albert.
In cultivation the plants flower in August, while the plants from Prince Albert flowered weeks before, with the seed already ripening.
