I am a very hardy perennial ground cover with a clumping habit.
My varieties include pink and white flowering forms. My star shaped flowers rise above my tidy foliage in late winter and early spring.
Naturally found in alpine areas I have excellent cold and frost tolerance. I do best away from baking sun and extreme dry.
