Spays of attractive "Maltese Cross" flowers, in the very palest purple-pink, open on thin stems above fine tufted foliage. Native to the mountainous regions of the Balkan Peninsula, and especially the Pirin Mountains of Bulgaria where it grows up to 2300m, this densely tufted plant is extremely rare in the wild.
