Gnaphalium Semilanatum

Purple heath, scientifically known as Gnaphalium semilanatum, is a low-growing flowering plant native to the temperate regions of Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its dense clusters of small, violet-colored flowers that bloom in late summer and early autumn. This plant thrives in moist, nutrient-poor soils and is commonly found in heathlands and along the edges of woodlands. Its delicate appearance and ability to flourish in challenging environments make it a unique and resilient species. Despite its modest size, the purple heath plays an important ecological role in supporting local biodiversity.
