Mat forming perennial from the Himalayas.

Has grey-green, softly hairy, oval leaves with reddish stems. Bears tiny, pale pink flowers with a yellow eye which ages to red.

Flowers June-August

Likes a well drained but moist soil in full sun. Will need some shade during very hot parts of the day. Plant vertically where possible so that rain and other water doesn't sit in the rosettes of the plant. This is a sure way to kill them off. Always water from beneath the leaves. Hates wet winters.

They make a good alpine trough subject.

Take rosette cuttings to root for new plants or sow seed as soon as ripe in a sheltered area or cold frame.
