Kelleria villosa

Kelleria villosa is a hardy perennial with a distinctive woolly texture, arising from its densely hairy leaves. This trait offers protection against harsh sunlight and preserves moisture, reflecting its adaptation to sunny, dry habitats. The plant's low-growing habit and small, bell-shaped purple flowers make it a charming addition to any rock garden or alpine display.
