Do-Dy

DRABA create one of the first big shows in the spring rock garden; it is always a treat to watch the bees picking out flowers emerging from the melting snow. Below you will find easy and indestructible forms for the open garden as well as fuzz balls choice enough for your best lump of tufa or trough. Try potting a few in show pans in the manner of the Europeans, even non rock gardeners will turn their heads.

Draba bryoides imbricata ex Sisk.( rigida bryoides)

Draba bryoides imbricata ex Sisk.( rigida bryoides)

This form makes a hard dome of tiny narrow leaved rosettes, yellow flowers on inch high thready stems, an outstanding trough plant and much easier to grow than the fuzzy ones. I've seen numerous plants under this name and this Siskiyou clone is among the best, though perhaps not as fine as the tightly imbricated form Betty Blake grew nor the Holubec forms, I would probably have placed it as D. rigida bryoides.____ZONE 4

Piatek calls it one of the easiest of the elite Drabas, (this form is not as furry as some but it’s still a fuzz ball and requires care in watering) with tight gray green velvety buns that metamorphose into yellow mounds early each spring. He collected it on Ercyies Dag at 3000m.____ZONE 4
