Hieracium Schmidtii Subsp. Cyaneum

Cyaneum hawkweed, scientifically known as Hieracium schmidtii subsp. cyaneum, is a rare and striking plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is characterized by its vibrant blue and purple flowers that bloom in early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This subspecies thrives in alpine environments, where it adapts to harsh conditions with a compact growth form and hairy leaves. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this delicate species from extinction.
