    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A slow-growing yet easy-to-grow evergreen alpine with clusters of greyish green rosettes of leaves with white serrated edges. The plants produce relatively tall sprays of white flowers in late spring. Grow in a partly shaded rock garden or in crevices.

    Nice little Sax with 4"-8" stems of starry white flowers. Congested little clumper that asks for little but a well-drained nook to populate. Great in the rockery or step corner. Doesn't want to get as dry or hot as Hens & Chicks so while this is easy it doesn't mean you can just throw it to the wolves.
