Fumaria densiflora, commonly known as Dense-flowered Fumitory, is an annual herb that is native to the Mediterranean region, including Southern Europe and North Africa. It typically grows in disturbed sites, field margins, and along roadsides within its native range. This plant usually reaches a height of 10-30 centimeters and spreads to form a delicate mass of finely dissected, blue-green foliage. The small, tubular flowers are pink to purple with darker tips, blooming from spring to early summer and are not particularly showy. Despite its modest appearance, it can be used to add texture to garden beds and borders.

Dense-flowered Fumitory is valued for its ability to thrive in poor soils and its low water requirements, making it suitable for xeriscaping or as a filler in rock gardens. It prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soils. While it is not commonly cultivated, it can be used in wildflower mixes or as a part of a Mediterranean garden theme. However, gardeners should be cautious as Fumaria densiflora can become invasive outside its native range, particularly in similar climates. It can self-seed prolifically and may require management to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
