Alpine toadflax thrives in full sun with gritty, well-drained alpine or rock garden soil that mimics its mountain habitat. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid soggy conditions, as this plant is accustomed to cool, well-drained slopes. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens and troughs, providing cheerful violet and yellow snapdragon-like flowers.
