This pretty little rock jasmine is found in alpine meadows in the Caucuses.  It is a short-lived species but does reseed fairly easily.  It forms a dense rosette with distinctive ruffled appearing leaves, a thick flower stalk with clusters of white or pink flowers. It grows best in partial shade in, gritty, sharply drained soil and grit topdress.  Nice trough plant.  Hardy to -20 degrees F.  Primulaceae

This is a fairly easy to grow plant with tufts of loose rosettes of linear leaves and white flowers on thin stalks in spring. 2” X 6”.   Grow in sun to part shade in gritty, sharply drained soil, grit topdress.  Another nice trough plant.  Hardy to -30 degrees F  Primulaceae

This rock jasmine has small rosettes of linear leaves with white flowers on stems in spring. 2” X 6”. We've grown it successfully in part shade in gritty, sharply drained soil with a grit topdress. It's small scale make it a nice trough plant.  It has been solidly hardy for us here in Zone 7-8.  Primulaceae

The species is found in Turkestan.  Our plants were grown from seed obtained on a seed exchange and we have, as yet, been unable to verify that the plant is correctly identified.  It is a nice little Androsace and worth growing all the same.

Dense, fuzzy rosettes with umbels of rose-pink flowers in spring. 3” X 8”.   Sun to part shade, gritty, sharply drained soil. Spreads by runners. One of the easiest to grow.  Hardy to –20 degrees F.   Himalayas Primulaceae

Tufts of flatish, loose rosettes of linear leaves with a galaxy of white flowers on long wiry stems.   4” X 8”.   Easy to grow in sun to part shade in gritty, sharply drained soil.   This plant may be an annual since it hasn't made it through a winter yet for us.  We always have some in the garden, though, since it reseeds freely.  The species is from the Rocky Mountains.
