Description

Numerous white or pale pink flowers which open fully on sunny day nestle in a tight rosette of deciduous glaucous-green leaves. Plants are best plunged in the alpine house, keeping moist in spring, and just slightly moist even after flowering when they quickly become dormant, new growth appearing in September/October.

Sowing Advice

Seeds can be sown at any time but are best sown in winter or early spring to benefit from a cold spell in the wet compost to break their dormancy. We advise covering seeds very thinly with sand or fine grit to about the depth of the seed size. If the seeds do not come up within 6 to 12 weeks the damp seed tray can be given cold treatment in a fridge for about four weeks. They may still take very many months to appear, so please never discard the pot or tray.
