A Balkan-Circumpontic xeric steppe annual species acting mostly like a ruderal. Spread also in a variety of places in Central Europe as a weed but in Romania it can be encountered only in the southern areas

It occurs into two varieties, a white flowered one which seemingly is the most common and one with that sort of pale pink flowers so specific for the species in Acrolophus subgenus.
