Acantholimon trojanum |
 |
5X10 |
0 |
Forms dense green cushions similar to the green forms of A. ulicinum. Pink flowers sit on top of the cushions. Very charming Acantholimon from Turkey. This one seems to need a little shelter at the lower elevations, but I suspect it would do better above 3000'. DR TNT |

Aethionema armenum |
 |
4X10 |
4 |
Possibly still my favorite Aethionema, especially in mid-summer when the foliage has formed flat dense clumps of shrubby blue foliage. Light pink flowers in spring come later than some of the other Aethionema, extending the bloom season. Can handle poor dry soil. DR TNT |

A nice dwarf Aethionema forming dense mounds of narrow glaucous blue-green leaves. Pale pink flowers in spring. Perfect for the smaller rock garden, or to fill crevices in a dry rock wall. This is another dependable performer for us. DR TNT |
