Phenology: Flowering mostly late Feb–early Apr; fruiting mostly May–Jun.
Habitat: Limestone glades, forest understories, shale or sandstone outcrops, often on steep slopes.

Discussion

Variety alabamensis is restricted to Bibb and Tuscaloosa counties. A report of this variety from Tennessee is almost certainly erroneous (K. Wurdack 2006).
