Petromarula is a genus with a single species, Petromarula pinnata, a robust perennial in the bellflower family (Campanulaceae) that grows naturally only on the Greek island of Crete. It is a rarely cultivated wild plant, and the key to growing it is a sunny, well-drained spot, since it comes from rocky Mediterranean habitat.
