Blooming Season:
As early as April in mild areas or as late as June in cooler areas.
Cultivation:
This is perhaps the easiest Androsace to grow so is recommended for beginners. It may be short-lived so saving seed is suggested. Unlike many Androsace, this species prefers acidic soil rather than alkaline. Full sun and well-drained soil are essential. It is an ideal species for growing in crevice gardens or alpine troughs. Zone 5-8.
Propagation:
Seed is the primarily way to propagate this Androsace. Seeds need light for germination. They also require 6-8 weeks of stratification. Some growers provide them with 6 weeks of 20 C first, followed by the stratification period. Once stratification is complete, germinate them cool, 10-15 C. This will keep them more compact.
