Description
This makes quite small and compact plants with its leaves each divided into three, beautifully silvered lobes.
Above the leaves are racemes of up to 10, long tubular flowers of white or palest pink (varying sometimes to mid-pink and very rarely to dark pink). Each flower has a deeply stained, black-purple nose.
As Liden and Zetterlund observe the combination of dissected glaucous foliage and dainty flowers make this a very decorative species.
Like its relatives popovii, ledebouriana and maracandica, this is good in a well-drained, loam-based garden soil and also excellent in a pot under alpine glass.
