Aethionema Virgatum Var. Stenopterum

Aethionema virgatum var. stenopterum is a rare and lesser-known member of the Brassicaceae family. Native to the rocky soils of southern Europe, this plant thrives in harsh, sun-drenched environments. Its compact growth habit and striking blue-purplish flowers make it a unique addition to any garden or botanical collection. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated and often overlooked by horticultural enthusiasts. Understanding its ecological role and cultivation needs is essential for its conservation and appreciation.
