Schiedea globosa, commonly known as Globe Schiedea, is a rare and endangered perennial shrub endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, specifically found in dry, rocky slopes within diverse ecosystems such as mesic forests and shrublands. It exhibits a moderate growth rate, reaching heights of 1.5-3 feet (0.46-0.9 meters) and a similar spread of 1.5-2.5 feet (0.5-0.8 meters). The plant is characterized by its dense foliage and branching habit, with white, showy flowers that bloom in the summer, providing a stark contrast to the greenery.

Globe Schiedea is valued for its unique appearance and contribution to biodiversity, especially within Hawaiian xeric habitats. It is suitable for rock gardens, native plant collections, and as a specimen in conservation-focused landscapes. In cultivation, it requires conditions that mimic its native habitat, such as full sun to part shade exposure and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. While it prefers medium moisture levels, it is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Due to its rarity, it is not commonly found in the horticultural trade, but it can be a rewarding plant for dedicated native plant enthusiasts.CC BY-SA 4.0
