Androsace Sempervivoides

Description

Deep green rosettes, pink fading to yellow flowers.

This is one of the easiest Androsace to grow but ease doesn’t mean disappointment as this is a real delight in the Alpine rock  garden, crevice garden, containers, borders and fairy gardens. With its deep green waxy foliage making mats of crowns up to 5cm across it rapidly gets to mature size making a great feature in the garden.
