Callianthemum is a genus that consists of 24 species of little rhizomatous herbs from high mountains in Europe, Central Asia and East Asia. The plants are low-growing, ornamental perennials and are lovely to rock garden. Leaves are small and radical. Flowers are showy daisy-like, with 5-15 white or rose-color petals and nectaries at the base.
Propagation:
To propagate callianthemum, sow seeds after cold stratification in a well-draining mix, lightly covered with vermiculite. Maintain consistent moisture, place in bright, indirect light, and ensure temperatures support germination. Handle seedlings gently; propagation difficulty is moderate due to specific cold stratification needs.
