Fumana procumbens is a low-growing, sun-loving subshrub native to dry, rocky European limestone slopes, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens and xeriscaping. It is very drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor, well-drained soils with minimal fertilization. Plant in full sun and avoid heavy, wet soils to keep this compact little plant healthy and flowering.
