Plant details
This pretty alpine holds the Royal Horticultural Society's prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM). It is grown for its outward-facing, deep mauve-blue, four-petalled flowers which appear in late spring and early summer. Found growing wild in shady crevices and cliff faces in Macedonia, Bosnia and; Herzegovina and Greece, it must be grown on its side to avoid moisture accumulating in the rosette of leaves. Leaves wither in dry conditions but recover if watered throughly. Outdoors, grow in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. In the alpine house, grow in a mixture of equal parts of loam, leaf mould and grit, in bright filtered light with shade from hot sun.
