description_en: Genus of 3 species of rosette-forming, evergreen perennials from shady rock crevices and cliff faces in N.E. Spain, the Pyrenees, and Balkan mountains. They are grown for their hairy, crinkled leaves, of variable shape and colour, and their flat or shallowly cup-shaped, colourful flowers. The flowers are often slightly 2-lipped, with 4 or 5, rarely 6 petals, and are borne singly or in cyme-like panicles on slender, leafless stems, in late spring and early summer. Grow in a rock garden, a peat bed, in crevices in a stone wall, or in an alpine house.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy, but intolerant of excessive winter wet.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed very thinly in containers in a cold frame as soon as ripe. Seedlings develop slowly, so do not prick out until they have several leaves. Root rosettes in early summer, or root leaf cuttings in early autumn.
pests_en: Very susceptible to slug and snail damage.
