Globularia is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants , native to central and southern Europe, Macaronesia, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. They are dense low evergreen mat-forming perennials or subshrubs, with leathery oval leaves. The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences (capitula) held above the plant on a 1 to 30 cm tall stem; the capitula has numerous tightly packed purple, violet, pink or white flowers.
Water:
Originating from moderate climates, globularia prefers a consistent watering regime, thriving when soil dries slightly between waterings. Weekly watering prevents over-saturation. Best grown outdoors, globularia flourishes in well-draining soil, which supports its water cycle and protects against root rot in rainy seasons.
Propagation:
Globularia propagates via seeds, cuttings, or division. Key factors for success include moderate light, well-draining soil, and warm temperatures. Techniques vary: seeds may require stratification, cuttings benefit from rooting hormone, and division should coincide with growth phases. The process can be moderately challenging.
