The natural habitat of this species is dry meadows, broken forests, forest fringes and glades of Europe, Siberia and the Far East. The D. deltoides represents a perennial beautiful flowering and decorative foliage plant. It's an evergreen, long vegetating herbaceous poly-carpic with late spring flowering period, chamaephyte or hemicryptophyte. The data on pink ontogenesis for 4-year observations is given. Three age periods (latent, pregenerative and generative) and six ontogenesis states are described. The studied species is shown to be characterized by above-ground type of seed germination.
