Chumby Silky Rock Jasmine (Androsace sarmentosa 'Chumbyi') is a cheerful member of the Primrose family, and blooms in early summer with fragrant clusters of pink flowers held over fuzzy rosettes of gray-green foliage.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Chumby Silky Rock Jasmine (Androsace sarmentosa 'Chumbyi') blooms in early summer with fragrant clusters of pink flowers held over fuzzy rosettes of gray-green foliage. Growing like a strawberry this compact little grower puts out red stemmed runners which root to form a tidy mound. A cheerful member of the Primrose family, Chumby Silky Rock Jasmine is a wonderful small perennial for shady perennials borders and as an edging plant for shaded pathways. Easy-to-grow, this Himalayan native is a resilient performer that makes a good companion plant for other shade lovers like Deep Blue Arizona Sage (Salvia arizonica) and Kashmir Sage (Phlomis cashmeriana).
