Anyone have seeds for this beauty?

I could not find it on any sites whose names I did not recognized.

Arrowhead Alpines did have it as a plant for $8.00/ per -- did not know if this was a good price or not. I do love the look of this one.

Marilyn, I can't remember where I got it. I'm pretty sure I got it locally. If I see it I will get us both one.

Yes, it through the first winter fine, but the second winter I put it on the covered deck and forgot to water it all winter. Crying

I have not been successful at wintering this plant over here in zone 5 First year in the ground second year in a large pot with other perennials.

I find that it is suppose to be hardy to zone 4. I am going to try it one more time. I would really love for this to be a perennial for me.

Very pretty plant I wish I could keep it , maybe I will try again too (if I can find it ) and keep it in the greenhouse overwinter.
My greenhouse is not heated , but I have figured most perennials I loose have to do with the wetness of our winters.

I have found the same thing here Cinda. Except I killed my 'Druett's Variegated' by not watering it over the long winter. It was under the deck roof so got no rain. It dried up like crispy critters.
