This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Position: Full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: Fertile, humus-rich, very well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: Average
  • Flowering period: May to June
  • Hardiness: Fully hardy


Forming a low rosette of fleshy green leaves, which in late spring and early summer, is topped with branching stems that carry pink, apricot or rich gold flowers. Occasionally the blooms may also be bicoloured, or even a blend of colours, which makes them a very pretty addition to the alpine bed or rockery. They will also look great in pots.


  • Garden care:
    Plant in freely draining soil and water moderately when actively growing. Avoid winter wet.
