Petals are white and are much longer than the sepals. The plant reproduces by means of brownish-red bulbils in the axils of the upper stem leaves. Flowers bloom June to August.[1]

This plant grows in moist sandy and mossy places, on ledges and in snow beds.[2]

It became a protected species in the UK in 1975 under the Conservation of Wild Creatures and Wild Plants Act.[3]
