Seed just covered and stored for 2-4 weeks at 20°C (68°F) and then it‘s moved outside until germination. Germination can be slow, seed may germinate a year later, so it‘s important not to throw it away prematurely. Optimum germination temperature is 5-12°C (40-55°F).
Spring flowering alpine that bears white flowers in April - May. It needs full sun and well drained soil. It is sensitive to wet conditions during the winter months, so in areas where winters are wet, it is best grown on a steep slope.
