Little cottonrose is a delicate, woolly-leaved annual wildflower native to sandy and gravelly open habitats across Europe. It prefers poor, well-drained soils and does not compete well with vigorous vegetation, making it ideal for wildlife or naturalistic garden settings. It is a specialist plant rarely found in commercial nurseries.
