This plant flowers a little earlier than most alpines which, because of the colder climate at altitude usually wait until June July and August. It is found at 900 metres or more but can also exist happily at lower altitudes. This one, on the banks of the River Tees was one of the last in flower at this locality. As the flowers die, they reveal little purplish bulbils.
