Jasione montana
Sheepbit is a charming low-growing wildflower that prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils in a sunny to partly shaded position. It requires minimal care once established and is well suited to rock gardens, meadow plantings, or coastal gardens. Water moderately and avoid heavy, fertile soils that can cause lush growth at the expense of flowering.
