This species grows in temperate and subalpine conditions where it can be found growing in shrubland habitats.[1]
It grows at altitudes ranging between 1700 and 1920 m above sea level.[1]
Threats
Delphinium iris is threatened by agriculture and human activity within their range. The overgrazing of livestock and the harvesting of hay within their habitat has a negative impact on the survival of D. iris.[1]
No conservation measures have been put in place to protect the species from extinction and the population is continuing to decline.[1]
