Parish's glasswort is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats and commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

🌡️ Temperature 5–32.2°C

Parish's glasswort is highly adaptable to different climates, from blazing summers to cold winters. That said, it thrives within a specific temperature range. If temperatures become too high, the plant can suffer from heat and humidity stress, which may kill it. In areas where temperatures near its lower cold-tolerance limit, insulating the plant is necessary to protect it.
