Lotus berthelotii is a trailing or creeping perennial plant from the Fabaceae family, native to the Canary Islands and now rare in the wild. It is widely appreciated in ornamental horticulture for its fine, silver-green foliage and striking flowers shaped like a parrot’s beak, typically in fiery red or orange hues. Ideal for hanging baskets, containers, and rock gardens, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfect for Mediterranean and coastal climates.
