Colobanthus apetalus
Colobanthus apetalus is a hardy perennial that thrives in rocky, alpine environments. Characterized by its lack of petals, this cushion-forming plant is distinctive for its small, needle-like leaves that contribute to its drought resistance. The inconspicuous, yet resilient, yellow-green flowers bloom close to the ground, reflecting colobanthus apetalus's adaptations to harsh, wind-swept habitats.
