Globularia sarcophylla is a rare, small fleshy-leaved subshrub endemic to the mountain cliffs of Gran Canaria, bearing solitary blue flower heads. It is a species of a Canary Islands cliff habitat, and it is grown only rarely in cultivation, so the key to growing it is sharp drainage and bright, cool conditions like its native rock faces.
Globularia sarcophylla is a plant endemic to Gran Canaria, where it is rare and confined to basalt mountain cliffs of the Caldera de Tirajana, Los Leales, La Culata etc. around 1,600 m (5,200 ft) in elevation.
