Rhodanthemum hosmariense, commonly known as Moroccan Daisy, is an evergreen perennial herb or subshrub native to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It thrives in rocky, mountainous regions and is well-adapted to dry, open areas. Moroccan Daisy typically grows to 30 cm (12 in) in height and width, forming a bushy, prostrate habit. Its deeply divided, silvery leaves provide a striking contrast to the solitary, daisy-like composite flower heads that bloom in summer. The flowers are showy with white petals surrounding a central yellow disc, attracting pollinators and adding visual interest to the garden.

Moroccan Daisy is valued for its drought tolerance and silvery foliage, which can provide year-round interest in the garden. It is an excellent choice for alpine gardens, rockeries, and as ground cover in sunny, well-drained areas. It has earned the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, indicating its exceptional performance in cultivation. This plant prefers full sun exposure and requires low amounts of water once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping. It is best grown in well-drained soil with medium fertility. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
