Androsace adfinis ssp. brigitanica, commonly known as Brigitanica Rock Jasmine, is a charming alpine plant that forms low, dense mats of evergreen foliage. Its small, dark green leaves create a perfect backdrop for its clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers. The flowers, which bloom in late spring to early summer, are typically white with a yellow center, adding a delicate and refined touch to any rock garden.

Native Habitat: This delightful species is native to the mountainous regions of Europe, particularly the Pyrenees and the western Alps. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils, often found clinging to cliffs and scree slopes, where it endures the harsh alpine climate.

Cultivation:

  • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade.

  • Soil: Requires well-drained, gritty soil. Avoid heavy, clay soils which retain moisture.

  • Water: Drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

  • Hardiness: Suitable for USDA Zones 4-8. Protect from excessive winter wetness in cooler climates.

  • Maintenance: Low-maintenance. Trim spent flowers to encourage a neat appearance and potential re-blooming.

Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, alpine gardens, troughs, and crevices in stone walls. Its low-growing, mat-forming habit makes it an excellent ground cover in difficult, rocky areas where other plants may struggle.

Noteworthy: Androsace adfinis ssp. brigitanica is not only appreciated for its beauty but also for its resilience. It provides a lovely, natural look to rockeries and alpine settings, requiring minimal care while offering maximum visual appeal
