Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 5, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

All of the Soldanella are choice woodland or shady rockery plants. S. alpina has the most deeply fringed, bell-like flowers. Their bells face more outwards than many Soldanella. The purplish-lavender flowers are produced 1-3 per stem on stems 3-6" tall. The rounded evergreen leaves are also attractive. This species is natve to the Pyrenees and Alps.
