Globularia
Globularia is a genus of about 22 low, evergreen, mat-forming perennials and subshrubs with dense round flower heads in purple, violet, pink or white. Commonly grown garden members include G. cordifolia and G. punctata, which need sun, sharp drainage and little water.
Globularia is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae, native to central and southern Europe, Macaronesia, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. They are dense low evergreen mat-forming perennials or subshrubs, with leathery oval leaves 1–10 cm (0.4–3.9 in) long. The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences (capitula) held above the plant on a 1–30 cm (0.4–11.8 in) tall stem; the capitula is 1–3 cm in diameter, with numerous tightly packed purple, violet, pink or white flowers.
Globularia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora virgatella.
