 The acantholimons are dwarf, tufted herbs, with sharp-pointed, rigid leaves; less common than Statice and Armeria, from both of which it is distinguished by its sharp-pointed leaves. An oriental genus of slow-growing and sun-loving plants for rockeries and sandy places. Most of them can be grown in the open border, A. glumaceum particularly, but they prefer warm, sunny situations in the rock-garden.
-Propagation is best effected by cuttings taken in late summer and kept in a coldframe, protected from the frost, over winter. Layering is also a quicker method of propagation.

Boissier describes 74 species in the Flora Orientalis. See A. Bunge, Die Gattung Acantholimon, St. Petersburg, 1872.
