- I produce masses of 5 pointed white, pink or red trumpet shaped flowers in late winter and early spring

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.
A hardy and low growing ground cover I form neat round cushions. I am a good choice for light foot traffic areas such as between pavers.
