Eine fantastische Gartenpflanze mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften wie der Blaukissen (Aubrieta). Viele kleine Löwenmäulchenähnliche Blumen in violett-blau, die die Pflanze nur so eindecken und somit den Kisseneffekt erzeugen. Ideal für den Behälter, Steingarten oder um Wege abzugrenzen. Säen Sie im Januar, um ab Sommer Blumen zu bekommen.

Sow in trays, pots, etc of good seed compost in a propagator or warm place to maintain an optimum temperature of 55-60F (13-15C). Sow in well drained compost, just covering the seed with compost. Sowing Time: January to February. Germination can be slow, after sowing seal container in a polythene bag and leave at 65-70F (18-22C) for 2 weeks then place in a refrigerator (not freezer) for 4-6 weeks. Examine regularly whilst in fridge for signs of germination. If this occurs transplant the seedlings and return the container to the fridge. After 4-6 weeks move to 55-60F (13-15C). Germination usually occurs after 21-30 days.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Place in a cold frame or similar and plant out in spring 23cm (9in) apart, when the weather is mild.

They prefer a very well drained soil and full sun. Excellent for containers, rockeries, edging palms and ideal in pots in the alpine house or cold greenhouse.
