Azorella diapensioides
Family: Apiaceae
Cultivation
In its natural habitat Azorella diapensioides tolerates very wide daily temperature swings (ranging from at least -25°c to +25°c), but it probably also requires the arid climate plus the high light intensity found at high elevations if it is to thrive. Requires a position in full sun in a well-drained gritty soil. A very slow growing plant, figures of just 20mm new growth per year have been quoted, so larger specimens of 1 metre or more must be around a century old.
