Glechoma Daenensis

Glechoma daenensis is a lesser-known member of the mint family native to the mountainous regions of Iran. This hardy perennial plant thrives in rocky and well-drained soils, often found in alpine and subalpine habitats. Its small, heart-shaped leaves and delicate blue-violet flowers make it a striking addition to any botanical collection. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles. Its unique adaptations and ecological significance highlight the importance of preserving such rare and specialized flora.
