Acantholimon

Acantholimon features slender, spiky leaves forming compact, cushion-like mounds. This adaptation, ideal for the rocky, arid regions it typically inhabits, helps in minimizing moisture loss. During summer, acantholimon blooms with small, vibrant flowers, often pink or purple, that emerge on long stalks, adding a burst of color to the stark landscape.
