A compact, long-blooming perennial native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. This alpine plant thrives in well-drained, gritty soil and full sun to partial shade. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, or crevices. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires excellent drainage to prevent rot.
Plum as a flower color is a deep, rich shade of purple with subtle reddish undertones. It evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication, often appearing almost burgundy or wine-like in some lighting. The color is dark and moody but not quite as intense as maroon, offering a more subdued, yet luxurious hue. In flowers, plum is typically associated with mature blooms, adding a regal and dramatic touch, and can pair beautifully with soft pastels or vibrant greens.
Hardy to USDA zones 3–8.
