Hmm, I forgot that
Asperula boissieri
actually bloomed in the first year from seed last summer! Not bad!
I wish all plants were so accomodating. It's nice to at least see what the flowers look before I kill it.
Fantastic Lori, can't believe your plant could make such a sizable mound in such a short time, and with a sprinkling of flowers to boot; I'm envious of your alpine plant cultivation skills
The foliage on these things look just like dwarf conifers... I'd grow them just for the nice foliage, except the flowers are great too (en masse, on established plants). Hopefully you haven't killed it as predicted, and you can give us an update this spring!

Asperulas really do well in tufa. This one is actually planted in tufa in the tufa crevice garden and it's just covering the tufa.
