Titania’s Fritillary occurs in grassy, open places at the edges of woodland, or in woodland clearings, or on grassland with scattered trees, mostly on damp to swampy ground, where its foodplant Snake- root or Common Bistort (Polyganum bistorta) is growing among tall flower-rich vegetation. Various violets (Viola spp.) are also used as a foodplant. The female deposits her rather large eggs singly on either the foodplant, or on a plant nearby. The caterpillars go into hibernation in an early stage, and pupate at the end of the spring on a stalk, near to the ground. The species is single-brooded.
