Cerastium subtriflorum, the Slovenian mouse-ear chickweed, is a small low-growing perennial of the pink family found mainly in the Julian and Slovenian Alps. It is a rock-garden or alpine plant that needs cool conditions and calcareous, well-drained ground.
Cerastium subtriflorum, the Slovenian mouse-ear chickweed, is a perennial plant species in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is mostly restricted to the Slovenian and Italian Alps.
Cerastium subtriflorum grows as an endemic plant in the Julian Alps of both Slovenia and Italy, while it also occurs elsewhere, especially on the southern borders of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and in the valley of the Sava river, as well as the vicinities of Kamnik and Nevljica in central Slovenia. It occupies both lowland regions and the alpine vegetation belt at elevations up to 2000 m. Its habitat usually contains calcareous substrate; most of the times the species can be found on rocky grasslands, screes, cliffs and in forest on humid stony ground.
