Description

Excellent perennial plants, some of which have been used in gardens for a long time, which, with one exception (L. chalcedonica), all prefer a light, porous and well-drained soil. Variety very similar to L. x arkwrightii 'Orange Zwerg', differing only in slightly less purple foliage and slightly redder flowers.

Planting and care

In regions with clayey, heavy and damp soil, only the scree garden, the slope of a bank and the rockery can accommodate them without risks. In a stony or sandy soil, it is not uncommon for most of them to self-seed spontaneously. We only manage to grow them in the very stony soil of the rockery, in full sun.
