Rhodanthemum hosmarienseis naturally found in North Africa growing on the Atlas Mountains in Morocco in rocky places or meadows. It prefers a well drained organic rich fertile sandy-stony soil in an open to exposed sunny position and is drought tender but moderately frost tolerant.

This perennial is grown for its flowers and its spreading habit. It is planted in sunny rockeries or along borders in small gardens and is used as a tub specimen. It is suitable for cool low-mountain regions establishing in 2 to 3 years and is moderately long lived. It is also grown in raised garden beds where drainage is poor or planted against a sunny wall for its long flowering period.ID 3114
