The story
A small plant for small places.
Low tufts of narrow leaves send up tight heads of rose-pink flowers in late spring. It comes from rocky mountain slopes in the far north, which tells you what it wants: sun, grit and sharp drainage.
Light
Full sun. Where summers are hot, a little afternoon shade helps.
Water
Water while it settles in, then sparingly. Wet soil, especially in winter, kills it.
Planting
Plant in spring or early fall in gritty, well-drained soil and mulch with gravel. A trough or shallow pot works well.
It fits where nothing else fits, and blooms like it belongs there.
