A petite, low growing species with pinnate leaves that form a rosette and short, light brown flower spikes that emerge from May to July. Young leaves can be harvested and eaten raw in salads. Ideal for a rock garden as it thrives in dry, stony or sandy soils. We have it planted in groups in gravel. Height 12 cm.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow from March to June. Cover seed thinly, press in gently and keep top of compost from drying out. Keep pot warm at 15 to 20°C until germination, then move to somewhere cooler.
Carefully prick out seedlings when they have developed true leaves and are large enough to transplant to individual pots to grow on.
