Androsace sarmentosa (studiosorum) subsp. primuloides has tight rosettes of small, hairy leaves, which produce short stems, each with a cluster of bright pink flowers with a deeper red eye. It quickly spreads by runners to give a mat of rosettes. It survives well in the open, but flowers better if protected from the worst of the winter wet. This form has been around under the names Androsace primuloides and Androsace sarmentosa.

Low mat of rosettes with bright pink flowers with a yellow eye.
