The Green-striped White occurs in flower-rich places, between bushes, on waste ground, and on abandoned agricultural land. It occurs locally, but can be numerous in its flight area. The butterfly flies quickly and close to the ground. The caterpillars eat the ripening seeds of different crucifers, such as the buckler mustard Biscutella auriculata, candytufts (Iberis spp.) including Annual Candytuft (I. amara), and rockets (Sisymbrium spp.). The Green-striped White has two broods a year in the spring, and passes the winter as a pupa.
