Broad-leaved cudweed is a low-growing Mediterranean annual or short-lived perennial suited to dry, sunny banks and disturbed open ground with poor, well-drained soil. It requires very little care once established and should not be overwatered or planted in rich soils, which can cause it to decline. This is a specialist or wildflower garden plant rarely found in mainstream nurseries.
