Chionocharis

Chionocharis thrives in harsh alpine climates, showcasing resilience and adaptability. Its small stature, coupled with a dense cluster of blue or purple bell-shaped flowers, is particularly adapted to low temperatures and strong winds typical of its mountainous habitats. The silvery-green foliage reflects sunlight, reducing water loss and shielding from frost.

Water: Chionocharis thrives in high-altitude habitats and prefers moderate hydration, tolerating brief dry spells. It should be watered weekly to ensure optimal health. Typically grown outdoors, chionocharis aligns its growth cycle with seasonal rainfall patterns, benefiting from periods of higher precipitation.

Propagation: Propagation of chionocharis involves seed sowing or division. Success hinges on adequate light, cool conditions, and well-draining soil. Seedlings and offsets require special care. Sow seeds in autumn; for division, separate in spring, replant, and water well. Both methods need patience and careful handling.
