This genus consists of around 19 species of exquisite, Semi-succulent, evergreen and deciduous, alpine and sub alpine perennials of the portulaca family (Portulacaeae). They are found in the rocky mountains from New Mexico in U.S.A to southern Canada and usually form rosettes or tufts of fleshy, linear, Lance or spatula-shaped leaves.
CULTIVATION
Most species have deep taproots and prefer a gritty, humus-rich, free-draining soil that remains moist in the growing season but is otherwise dry. The deciduous species generally only reproduce from seed, but evergreen plants can be propagated from seed or offsets.
