Androsace (Rock Jasmine)

Rock Jasmines belong to a very large genus within the primrose family (Primulaceae) and are native of high altitude regions throughout mountain ranges in the Northern hemisphere, from central Asia, to the Caucasus, the Alps, the Pyrenees and North America. Many species are ideally suited for the rock garden where they will make dense, floriferous cushions or carpets with time. Some species have fragrant flowers. All grow well in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot.
Sow flat from autumn to early summer in any well drained, rather rocky soil in full sun. Cover seeds only slightly with soil. Seeds require a prolonged cooling period before they will start to germinate in late spring. Carefully transplant seedlings as soon as they are strong enough.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6.
