Botanical Description

A spreading shrub up to 30cm high but usually less, with procumbent to upright stems. Leaves 8-22mm long, hairy, opposite below, alternate above, broadly ovate to elliptical. Flowers 25-35mm long, pale pink or white with yellow in the throat. Eastern and central Pyrenees on calcareous rocks at 500-1800m. An easily-grown plant, readily propagated from cuttings. It seeds itself freely but is very liable to hybridize with A. majus forms or with other species, the hybrids being more upright.
