Morrison's spurrey
Spergula morisonii
Morrison's spurrey is a delicate, low-growing perennial suited to sandy, nutrient-poor soils in partial shade to dappled sun. It requires minimal watering and thrives in conditions that many other plants find inhospitable, making it a good choice for naturalistic or wild garden settings. Avoid rich, heavy soils as these can cause the plant to become leggy and reduce flowering.
