Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Silvery rosettes of leaves radiate outwards at the tips of stolons, lovely pink flowers in small heads are freely produced. This is one of the best of the growable Androsace species, a Himalayan Primula it dislikes being too sunbaked, at home in a trough or in the open garden and beautiful trailing over the edge of a rock; this is a particularly fine clone we selected from some Alplains seedlings..____ZONE 5
Named for its woolly silver-green leaves, this mounding Himalayan native promises to cascade clusters of delicate pink and white florets, with eyes sometimes crimson, sometimes green, over boulders and garden walls. Trailing reddish shoots and a faint sweet smell increase the drama of a duet with Lavandula 'England'.
