Limonium sitiacum has a somewhat restricted distribution.

Limonium sitiacum, locally known as the limonium of Sitia, is a perennial semi-shrubby plant exclusive to Eastern Crete. It is located in a few rocky positions and steep rocks within the Geopark, near the sea, specifically on the limestone rocks. Limonium sitiacum has a relatively restricted distribution and occupies a specialised but somewhat challenging habitat.
