Hairy Rock Jasmine is a very variable plant. Typically
it is a small clustered or mat-forming perennial, with rosettes of
linear to elliptical leaves, up to 1.5 cm across. The leaves have fine
hairs underneath, particularly towards the tips. The flowers, which are
6-10 mm in diameter, are in umbels on flowering-stems up to 3 cm tall.
They vary in color from white to red-purple, with a pink or yellow eye.
The white forms may age to pink. Hairy Rock Jasmine is native to Europe
to Mongolia and NW Himalaya, Morocco.
