Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Mid Summer
This is a winter grower which needs 10 - 12C between late summer and late winter. It requires good drainage as it it is prone to root rot. It can grow outdoors in sunny, dry, rock crevices (protection against winter wet is required) It can also be cultivated in alpine house, in poor, drained soil.
