Not an easy plant to grow!!I know C. zoysii grows in my area - a gardener friend near me grows it beautifully in a trough - but i have lost it twice! If I try it again, I will go with a trough like he uses but with all the other great alpine plants out there I've never tried, not likely to try again. It is a sweet little tuft just smothered in blooms when grown well, I just can't keep the tricky little thing goin'! LOL :}

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.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Vancouver, Washington
