Planting time
Planting: Autumn, depending on variety also in spring.

Care
- If watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are encouraged to penetrate into deeper soil layers. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought. - Rockery plants love loose, well-drained soil. However, as this substrate stores little water, the plants must be watered regularly for several weeks after planting, especially during dry periods, until they are sufficiently rooted.

Flower

Use
Group planting, rock garden, grave, roof garden, bee pasture, roof greening
