A Globularia species is a group of compact shrubs and perennial herbs recognized for their rounded flower heads and strong resilience in rocky or coastal environments.

What makes Globularia sp. distinctive?

Globularia species grow as low shrubs or perennials with dense rosettes or compact branching forms covered in leathery leaves adapted to bright light, wind exposure, and lean soils. Their spherical flower clusters, usually pale blue to lilac, rise just above the foliage on short stems and bloom reliably in sunny, well-drained sites. The genus shows notable tolerance to drought and coastal conditions, performing well in rocky borders, slopes, and dry open landscapes. Even without identification to species level, Globularia sp. consistently presents the compact architecture and rounded flowering heads characteristic of the genus.
