Summer dormant

Spread: 4 - 8 inches / 10 - 20cm
Lynne's notes:
This is one for the connoisseur. That said, it's easy to grow but suits alpine trough, sink or pot cultivation rather than the open border. Once established it reliably reappears each spring and unless temperatures begin to climb early in the year persists until mid summer. A real sweetie.
