Planting and care

Very beautiful mountain undergrowth perennials forming loose cushions that carpet limestone and mossy rocks, in a soil very rich in humus and fresh, 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 must be added. They will find a prime spot in a shaded and cool rockery, alongside Ramonda myconii, shade saxifrages, Mitella, and Heuchera, etc.
