Leptinella nana

Leptinella nana is a diminutive perennial herb, thriving in alpine and subantarctic areas with cold, moist conditions. It forms a dense, low-lying mat with feathery, fern-like foliage that provides ground cover. Tiny, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers emerge in summer, blending subtly with the leaves. Leptinella nana's cushion-like structure aids in resilience against harsh winds and poor soil.
