Cymbalaria muralis
- Product number: 583330
- Origin: Central Europe
- Latin: Cymbalaria muralis, also known as Linaria cymbalaria
Originating from Central Europe, this resilient plant has successfully naturalized in our country. Its small flowers appear in abundance from April to November, in pale purple or light violet with a pale yellow spot. The leaves resemble ivy leaves but are smaller and succulent. They usually establish themselves on or against walls in shady spots. The long stems regularly take root. After flowering, the small flowers bend inwards, causing the seeds to germinate in the shade of the parent plant or in dark crevices and between stones. A few fresh leaves added to a salad give it a potent flavor, similar to garden cress or wintercress.
