A lovely variety of house leeks this medium leaved alpine is a beauty. Preferring a sunny well drained spot in moderate soil. The richer the soil the larger the rosettes but the poorer the colour, conversely the poorer the soil the better the colour yet the smaller the rosettes. Excellent plants for the alpine garden and for tubs, containers etc.
