Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A great rock garden plant for our area where it thrives on the sun and good drainage and rewards the neglectful gardener with unearned but copious amounts of showy white flowers. If we get bitter cold in the winter, this South African wouldn't mind a wee blanky of mulch.

Same as the R. baurii except the flowers are almost pure white. Needs well drained soil. In colder regions they can be grown easily in pots, which can be overwintered in a cool, dry room.
