Ramondas and Haberleas are closely related, and provide excellent plants for the rock garden, crevices and the alpine house. Rosette- and clump-forming, they have thick, ridged leaves and short-tubed open flowers. They prefer to be shaded in summer. If they dry out they shrivel and appear to be completely dead, but become fresh and green again within a day or two of being watered.
Haberlea rhodopensis is a splendid plant for a shady place, where it will make a large rosette of its leathery leaves, and produce several stems of violet flowers, a few to each stem.
