The caterpillars live mostly on Brassicaceae or Resedaceae. In Northern Greece I watched eggs and caterpillars on Cakile maritima und Alyssum.

Pontia edusa inhabits many open, mostly dry warm habitats: coastal dunes, grasslands, rocky slopes, farmland.

The adults fly in several generations from April to October. The caterpillars live from May to November. The pupa overwinters.
