A small, rosetted, shrubby, clumping perennial. In spring Letitia produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers with a red eye. Suitable for planting in a rockery with other small plants, but best in a terracotta pot by itself.Given time Letitia can become "relatively" large, upto 40cm across, and become quite spectacular for such a diminutive plant. Must have good drainage and plenty of sunlight.
