Cliff dwarf-primrose
Androsace laevigata
Cliff dwarf-primrose is a rare, delicate alpine cushion plant native to rocky cliff faces and talus slopes of the Pacific Northwest. It demands excellent drainage, cool temperatures, and gritty, low-nutrient soil — conditions best replicated in a trough or alpine rock garden. This is a specialist plant best suited to experienced alpine gardeners who can provide the exacting growing conditions it needs.
