Picris cyrenaica is a small perennial, usually growing up to 1m in height. It can be propagated from seed or division. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining, sandy soil mix and kept in a warm, humid environment. The seeds should be kept moist and in a bright, indirect light. Once the seedlings have emerged, they can be transplanted into individual pots and grown in a sunny location. Division should be done in the spring or fall, when the plant is actively growing. The clumps should be divided into smaller sections and replanted in a well-draining, sandy soil mix. The divisions should be kept in a warm, humid environment and watered regularly. Once the divisions have rooted, they can be transplanted into individual pots and grown in a sunny location.

Picris cyrenaica is found in the Mediterranean region, from Spain to Turkey.
