Botanical Description

Very similar to D. glacialis but with grey-green, rigid leaves usually less than 1mm in width. The solitary pink flowers are carried above the leaves and are 1-1.5cm across. A white form is known. Native to Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. It makes an excellent trough plant, needing a gritty soil with plenty of lime.
