All recent occurrences of the plant species in Bavaria were investigated. Site factors and population biological parameters at the respective growth sites were recorded and evaluated. This resulted in concrete proposals for measures to preserve the species, which is dependent on open ground.
The mostly biennial plant grows on warmth-favoured, calcareous loamy soils, where it is pollinated in particular by the highly specialised waxflower bee. The seeds can survive in the soil for a long time and germinate after disturbance. For the conservation of the species, too frequent soil disturbances are just as harmful as too infrequent ones.
