Romanzoffia tracyi Jepson. Mistmaidens. This dainty tuberous perennial produces clusters of long-lasting, creamy flowers with a yellow eye on short scapes above a mound of fleshy, scalloped leaves. It is adapted to shady crevices misted by waterfalls and salt spray. Think of it as a wash-and-wear saxifrage. In our garden it weathers freezing rain in very sandy soil. Native from SW British Columbia to California. Our plants are from garden seed. Height to 10 cm (4"). Zone 6. Tubers (Fall shipping only). Not available this season. |
