Ulex Subsericeus

Ulex subsericeus is a flowering plant native to the coastal regions of western Europe and northern Africa. It is commonly known as the sea holly or sea thistle due to its distinctive appearance and habitat. This plant thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and is often found along the shoreline. Its yellow flowers bloom in late summer, adding a vibrant touch to the coastal landscape. Ulex subsericeus plays an important role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing dunes and providing food for local wildlife.
