It is a semi-evergreen perennial, with 10 cm (4 in) stems of narrow blue-green leaves and clusters of rose-pink flowers at the tips in spring and summer. It is popularly grown in rockeries or alpine gardens; and it occasionally becomes naturalised outside of its native range, especially on old stone walls, shown well from a well-known location for this species on the old packhorse bridge at Carrbridge in the Highlands of Scotland [5]
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[6][7]

gollark: DFPWM, I'll link it.
gollark: Natively, Computronics tapes are basically just big binary storage things you can playback DFPWM from, so my thing consists of an encoder which converts whatever input to WAV to DFPWM using external tools, as well as reading their metadata and adding a metadata block to the start of the tape to be read.
gollark: That's Minecraft Bedrock Edition, except it's monetized horribly and doesn't have mod support.
gollark: I actually made a program for CC which plays music off tapes with metadata, which is neat.
gollark: That is true.
