Chaenorhinum glareosum, commonly known as Dwarf Snapdragon, is a deciduous perennial herb native to rocky and stony places in the Western Mediterranean, including Spain and France. It typically grows to a height and width of 0.5 feet (0.15 meters), forming a low, compact mound. The plant is characterized by its small, lance-shaped leaves and produces showy, purple flowers with a snapdragon-like appearance during the summer months, which are particularly attractive to pollinators such as bees.

Dwarf Snapdragon is valued for its ability to thrive in poor soils and its drought tolerance once established, making it a suitable choice for rock gardens, alpine gardens, and as a ground cover in sunny, well-drained areas. It is also used in borders and containers for its charming flowers and low-growing habit. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate light shade and requires moderate watering with well-drained soil to prevent root rot. It is not known for serious pest or disease problems, but good air circulation is important to minimize the risk of fungal diseases.CC BY-SA 4.0
