I planted seed directly into the garden three years ago. Nothing came up and I lost the tag. Then this last year a draba sprouted but not were I scatered the seed. Must have moved it to it's new sight,  when I did some transplanting? Anyway I'd like to ID it.

Thought you might like to see this plant that won the Farrer Medal (best plant in Show) at the South West Alpine Garden Society Show last Saturday.

Wow!! That is an amazing plant. Tell me a little about it's natural habitat. I may be able to grow it outdoors.

Sorry John, I don't know anything about the plant at all.

I see that you live in Nevada, and I was very surprised that in such an arid climate you have a draba growing in your garden. I thought they wanted to live in a cooler region. Do you think I will ever be able to grow a draba in my rock garden in North Texas one day? lol

They seem to do alright for me. My humidity is very low in the summer, sometimes only in the single digits and the temps drop into the sixties most summer nights. With a touch of light shade during the hotest part of the day and a little irrigation twice a week they are seeding around for me.

How do you provide shade to the plants during the summer?
