Lapland diapensia is a low-growing evergreen plant native to the Arctic and subarctic regions, particularly found in Lapland, which spans parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. It belongs to the family Ericaceae and is known for its small, leathery leaves and white to pink bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer.
This plant typically thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and can often be found in alpine and tundra environments. Lapland diapensia is adapted to harsh climates, making it resilient to cold temperatures and strong winds. Its unique characteristics contribute to the biodiversity of the regions where it grows.
