Known as rock jasmines or fairy candelabras, Androsace widely cultivated for their dense cushions covered in white flowers.

These unique fragrant flowers, borne in early summer, are white with a bright yellow eye when they first open but then gradually turn pink, and can quite cover the entire face of the cushion when in full bloom. The plant forms small tufts of rosettes covered in long, silvery, silky hairs forming a solid cushion.
