A natural hybrid between P. empetriformis and P. glanduliflora which occurs frequently in the wild where the two species grow together. 6-9” tall by 12” wide or so. Flowers are on hairy stalks about 1/2 to 3/4” long. It blooms in April heliotrope colored flowers.
Hardy, but needs protection from the afternoon sun in summer. If the roots get too hot, they die. Need good drainage. Can be a fussy plant which is typical of alpines. Easy to grow in pots for us as drainage is good. Grows in Idaho.
This is a rare plant in the garden. |
