Botanical Description

Much like D. cneorum but with somewhat more slender and freely branching stems, longer narrower leaves and striped perianth tubes. Flowering can also continue later, at least in the wild or in colder gardens. France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italian Dolomites and Yugoslavia, in screes, short grassland and in low scrub usually above 1500-3000m. but here and there down to 900m. Generally an inferior garden plant to D. cneorum and much less easy to please. Cool conditions are appreciated in a moist but well

aerated rooted medium largely of acid humus and sharp sand.
