@sherrisgarden I’m glad you like them. These are border types so are easier compared to the alpine or show types which can be fussy. They like a free draining gritty soil either in a pot or in a border. They like / need to be kept cool, moist and shaded in the summer ( even in the cloudy UK). They come from alpine areas so don’t know if they will get cool enough in Southern California in winter to get them to flower, give it a try if you can grow semperviums (houseleeks) you can grow these. 👍🏻
