Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a pinch of seed given us by Tim Hanis, this yet to be described creature has 5-6" rosettes of very green, succulent leaves and panicles of light yellow flowers from late spring to early summer. We'll leave it to the experts to decide what exactly makes it different from the others, but horticulturally it's a pretty thing. Care is the same as for most others; if you don't happen to have a small cliff, then well-drained, mineral rich soil in rock garden wall or container. Avoid watering in summer especially when hot and if in containers make sure the soil is evenly moist during the winter months with bright light. Cold hardy for brief periods in upper USDA zone 8.
