Alpine plantain
Plantago alpina
Alpine plantain is a compact, rosette-forming perennial suited to rock gardens, alpine troughs, and well-drained borders in cool temperate climates. It prefers full sun to partial shade with consistently moist but not waterlogged soil and thrives at elevation or in cooler garden conditions. Little maintenance is needed beyond removing dead foliage and ensuring good drainage.
