May-Aug. Eu. L.B.C. 6:568. Gn. 75, p. 285; 76, p. 614. B.B. (ed. 2) 2:63.—According to Niven, this species is readily increased by division or by seeds, which it produces sparingly. The fls. have a tendency to become dioecious. Var. alba, Hort., forms dense cushions and has snow-white fls. somewhat smaller than the type. Var. aurea, Hort., has golden foliage and bright rose fls. Var. exscapa, Koch (S. exscapa, All.), has dense bright green cushions and paler pink (according to the trade sometimes white) fls. Var. grandiflora, Hort., forms moss-like tufts with crimson fls.
