Haplopappus Rehderi

Upwards-facing, stemless yellow flowers open on completely prostrate mats of bright, shiny green leaves. This rare and lovely high alpine, comes from the mountains of the Western USA, where it grows in rocky places. It makes a slowly spreading solid carpet which completely stifles any weeds that try to grow amongst its tightly packed compact foliage. Good fertile seed is very rarely produced or offered, but we have managed to collect a few!
