Ononis minutissima
Ononis minutissima is a compact Mediterranean legume best suited to sunny to partly shaded rock gardens or dry borders with well-drained, lean soil. Water sparingly and avoid rich, overly fertile soils which can cause leggy, weak growth. Once established it is a low-maintenance plant that requires little intervention beyond occasional trimming.
