A genus of flowering plants in the rockrose family, known for their small delicate flowers and ability to thrive in dry conditions.
From Greek 'krokos' (saffron/crocus) combined with 'anthemum' (flower), creating a botanical name suggesting flowers similar to crocuses.
Crocanthemum species have tiny flowers that last only one day, yet they produce hundreds over a season—this strategy lets them survive in deserts where blooming once could be catastrophic if conditions change.
