About this plant
This plant makes a dense leaf mound. The leaves are held in pairs. They are wavy with pronounced toothy margins, long and tapering to a tip. There are shot racemes of rather loose light-yellow flowers during mid to late summer. This is found in the Eastern Alps, from Eastern Austria to Yugoslavia. It grows in crevices in limestone rocks but is found at lower altitudes than the related Paederota bonarota. This reaches around 25cm (10in) height with 35cm (14in) spread.

Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
