Origin

Planting and care

Very beautiful mountain undergrowth perennials, forming loose cushions that carpet limestone and mossy rocks, in soil that is very rich in humus and moist, or even moderately dry in summer, but never wet. They are not easy to grow in heavy soils, to which a lot of leaf compost needs to be added. They will find a prime spot in a shaded and cool rock garden, alongside Ramonda myconii, shade saxifrages, Mitella, and Heuchera, etc.
