However mine don't look like caryophyllaceus, more like cooperi. This is the first winter for this species in the ground in my garden and it has so far survived several days of frost with a low of 26F, although with a cover of fallen deciduous leaves.

Note: Adromischus seeds are very small and seed propagation is rarely used. It is easily propagated by leaf cuttings. Twist off a leaf and permit it to dry out a couple of days, lay it on the soil and insert the stem end partially into the soil. The original leaf should not be removed until it has dried up. Try to keep the leaf somewhat upright so that the roots are able to grow downward. If grown in a container, bottom watering by immersing the container is recommended.
