Limonium cosyrense (Guss.) Kuntze
Description:
Small, tuft-forming sea lavender from Sicily, Pantelleria, and Malta. It grows to about 20–30 cm tall, with narrow, spoon-shaped leaves and airy sprays of pink summer flowers. Naturally found on rocky coastal slopes, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, stony soil. Ideal for rock gardens or coastal plantings, it’s drought- and salt-tolerant once established.
