Asteropyrum

Asteropyrum is a small genus of hardy perennials native to rocky, alpine regions of Asia. It is characterized by its rosette-forming habit and scalloped, hairy leaves, which help it to retain moisture and withstand challenging high-altitude climates. During late spring to early summer, asteropyrum produces delicate white or yellow flowers that are essential for pollinators in its native ecosystems.
