In Greece,
it is widespread in stony and dry locations, in scrub-lands, and in forest clearings,
usually at low altitudes.
It blooms from September to November
and may reach a height of 25cm.
Due to its beautiful golden-yellow flowers,
it is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens, and even in pots.
In the wild they grow solitary or in clusters.
