Globularia cordifolia
Also called Heart Leaved Globe Daisy, Matted Globularia
A low, mat-forming evergreen perennial from European mountains, covered in fluffy pale lilac globe flowers in summer. It needs full sun and very sharp drainage, so it suits an alpine garden or rock garden.
Globularia cordifolia, the heart-leaved globe daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe, and western Turkey.
It is a mat-forming evergreen perennial growing to 5 cm (2 in) tall by 20 cm (8 in) wide, with spherical, fluffy, pale lilac flowers in summer. In cultivation it requires the open aspect, full sun and sharp drainage of its native habitat, and is best grown in an alpine garden.
