Coris is a charming Mediterranean subshrub that prefers well-drained, rocky or sandy soils and plenty of sunlight. It is well suited to rock gardens and dry Mediterranean-style borders where drainage is excellent. Water sparingly and avoid overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to root rot in heavy or waterlogged soils.
