Androsace cylindrica
ROCK JASMINE
- Unit price
- / per
A unique and rare alpine with perfect-looking tiny white flowers.
Androsace, commonly known as rock jasmine, is a predominantly Arctic-alpine, with many species in the Himalayas (where the genus originated), the mountains of central Asia, the Caucasus, and the southern and central European mountain systems, particularly the Alps and the Pyrenees.
Plants of this genus are sometimes known as rock jasmines or fairy candelabras, and are widely cultivated for their dense cushions covered in white or pink flowers.
These plants have small entire or toothed leaves which form a basal rosette.
Very limited supply.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 2 cm, 1"
Location: Shade or part shade
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 5
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. Temperature 20-22C (68-72F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
