Asphodelus cerasifer, commonly known as Pink Asphodel, is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean Basin, specifically thriving in scrublands, meadows, and open woodlands. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of 1.5-2 feet (0.5-0.6 meters). The plant features linear, grass-like leaves and erect stems topped with dense clusters of white flowers, which are quite showy and bloom in the spring. The flowers are star-shaped and may have a pinkish hue, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Pink Asphodel is valued for its low maintenance and drought tolerance, making it suitable for xeriscaping and Mediterranean gardens. It is often used in rock gardens, borders, and as a part of wildflower meadows. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate light shade. The ideal soil for this plant is well-drained, sandy or loamy, and it requires minimal watering once established. Gardeners should be aware that Asphodelus species can self-seed and may spread if not managed.CC BY-SA 4.0
