Author:  Reg.&Radde.

Known Hazards:  Although no specific mention of toxicity has been seen for this plant, it belongs to a genus that contains a number of poisonous plants so the following remarks are likely to apply to this species - a toxic principle is present in very small quantities in the plant. It is poorly absorbed so poisoning is unlikely.

Mature Height:  0.3   Mature Width:  0.3

Habitat:  Found in mountains[174].

Propagation Notes: Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe or else it can be slow to germinate[1]. Sow the seed in partial shade in rich soil in September or March[111]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow the plants on for their first winter in a cold frame. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Division in early spring or in autumn. The divisions can be difficult to establish[200], so it is probably best to pot them up first and keep them in a cold frame or greenhouse until they are growing away actively.
