Pritzelago alpina 'Icecube'

(1/2) > >>

ideasguy:
B&Q were selling 3 plants for £5 and I bought one of these to make up the even numbers.
Cant find much info on it. Cant even find much info on the Genus!

It had a mass of small white flowers and still flowering away.

Seems its common name is Chamois Cress   

This one

suggests anither name: Hutchinsia alpina `Icecube' (equally mysterious)

Anybody have any experience with this one?

Palustris:
Grown it for years under its old name of Hutchnsia. Self seeds all round the trough where it started off life. Likes well drained soil in full sun, typical alpine really.

ideasguy:
Thanks Eric. I rather suspected you'd know that alpine plant  :)

Is it hardy outside in full sun, well drained soil?

Palustris:
Yes!

Palustris:

Here is the plant next to a trough.
