It is found growing in mountain meadows, scree, scrub, and open pine forests at altitudes that range from 1000 to 3000 meters; flowers occur in February to April.[2]
Plants have fimbriate, white stigmas, and the petals are sometime not marked - especially for plants found around the Sierra de Cazorla region.[2]
Under cultivation the plants are very susceptible to infections by botrytis, which attacks the faded flowers and can move into the corm and kill it.[2]
