Botanical Description

Closely resembling M. asiatica, which should probably be classed as a subspecies of it. It seems to be less easy to grow, requiring deep scree conditions. Usually does not thrive in containers. Young plants are easily raised from seed, especially if this is sown as soon as ripe.
