Androsace hirtella
ROCK JASMINE
SKU: 1556-3
Known as rock jasmines or fairy candelabras, Androsace widely cultivated for their dense cushions covered in white flowers.
This rare beautiful species is studded with short-stemmed, yellow-eyed elegantly round white flowers. The leaves are densely-tufted and borne in rosettes. In the wild it grows only on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees, where it thrives in the crevices of limestone cliffs, but in cultivation does fine in well-drained, non limy composts. An ideal show plant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 4-7 cm, 2-3"
Location: Sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Seeds per packet: 3
