Where it grows wild

Grows in crevices of acid rock, on sea cliffs, walls, dunes and thin, stony soil. Most sites are near the Atlantic coast, and plants are fully exposed to the sun.

Mostly near sea level to a few hundred metres, with a median of 573 m from 44 records. Elevations up to 2,876 m probably come from the Pyrenees or Iberian mountains, or are errors.
