It grows to 15-30 cm high and when it is fruit-bearing up to 40 cm. The roots go deep into the soil (to 1 m). The finely-dissected leaves are arranged in a rosette and appear with the bell-shaped flower in early spring.

It grows in sparely wooded pine forests or meadows, often on a sunny sloping side with calcium rich soil.
