The Massaroco or Pride of Madeira is Madeira’s most iconic flowering shrub, found thriving everywhere from coastal cliffs to mountain slopes across the island. This resilient perennial dazzles with minimal care as it withstands drought, salty winds, and even light frosts, making it perfect for effortless gardens, erosion control, or attracting pollinators. Its striking flower spikes create an unforgettable display for months, and unlike delicate ornamentals, it actually prefers poor, rocky soils. For gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet showstopping Madeira native plant, this is the ultimate choice.
