A tiny, tuft forming perennial from the Southern Alps region.

Has toothed or entire, ovate, mid-green leaves. Bears cylindrical, blue, slightly nodding flowers that appear to never quite open fully.

Flowers end of May-July

Needs a very well drained, gritty, alkaline soil in sun. Best grown in an alpine house. Not an easy plant to grow.

Availability of this plant is limited. The germination is erratic and can have very low germination percentages.
