Ant dispersed spring ephemeral (Gleason and Cronquist 1991).
Mature transplants added to a woodland degraded by cattle grazing in Wisconin were "healthy" in the six years that the plants were monitored, and with low mortality; the authors did not report whether they reproduced (Ellarson and Craven 1982) .
Two groups of transplants in a field study had 33% and 59% survival after 7 years (Mottl et al. 2006); has low seed production but high vegetative spread (Barkely 1986, Gleason and Cronquist 1991), suggesting that transplanting could be a successful method of re-introduction.
Root a small bulb with numerous white or pink kernels (Sperka 1973).
Pollinator: primarily queen Bumble Bees, which have newly emerged from their winter shelters (Borge, 2020)
