I first encountered this tiny plant in the wild and in bloom in Cappadocia, Turkey. It was one of the most common plants on these Anatolian plains and was in bloom in spring. I next encountered it at a local nursery in August, where it was also in bloom. It is very drought tolerant and generally no more than 3 inches tall.
