     DRABA                                                                                     Brassicaceae 

Draba alticola          8cm...£2.50

 

tn_brunniifolia.jpg Draba bruniifolia          7cm...£2.50

Small, tight rosettes of minutely hairy, acuminate leaves and small scapes of relatively large, mid-yellow flowers in Spring. Will grow outside in a gritty soil but can be scorched in a particularly hot and parched spot.

Draba cretica          7cm...£2.50 

An attractive small Draba with distinct, noticeably hairy, rigid leaves in a quite open rosette; from which arise charming lemon-yellow heads of several flowers. These are followed by small, slightly arched siliques. 

Draba cuspidata          9cm...£2.50 

A spiky rosette of slightly glossy, linear leaves and large golden-yellow flowers. From the Crimea and seems tougher and more adaptable than many. 

Draba dedeana          7cm...£2.75 

Dark green rosettes form substantial cushions in time and are covered with heads of vibrant white flowers on half-inch stems. Adaptable and not adverse to life in a pot.

dn_densifolia Draba densifolia          7cm...£2.50

 

Draba grayana         sold out

 

tn_hispanica.jpg Draba hispanica var. segurensis          7cm...£2.25 

( Spain ) Prickly, bristley deep green rosettes make this a distinctive, long-lived Draba. Long-petaled, star-shaped lemon-yellow crucifers in late March.

 

Draba lemsii          7cm...£2.50 

Compact silver-hairy, grey-blue cushions and small heads of pale yellow flowers. 

Draba longisiliqua        8cm...£2.50

Compact, seed-setting form originally collected by Holubec. Grey-green mounds and heads of good-sized yellow flowers on short stems.

Draba oligosperma        7cm...£2.75

A copmact, tight mounded Draba with pale grey-green rosettes and sessile multi-headed bright yellow flowers. 

Draba oreades         sold out 

As Drabas go this almost has the appearance of 'rude good health'; pale, grey-green, hairy rosettes and multi-headed stems of bright yellow flowers.

dn_hz Draba rigida var. bryoides          7cm...£2.50 

( HZ 82/97 ) A particularly tight cushion-forming form collected by Henrik Zetterlund which forms a very neat rounded hummock, composed of tiny pale green rosettes and very short-stemmed corymbs of golden-yellow flowers

dn_rosularis.jpg Draba rosularis          7cm...£2.50 

A very softly hairy Draba, appearing almost grey; that is until it is covered in deep yellow, short-stemmed flowers in March. Not amused by winter wet on account of its hairy nature but, given the right spot, it will rapidly perk up again once warmer, drier Spring weather returns. 

Draba sphaeroides var. cusickii          7cm...£2.50 

Dark green, narrow, spiky leaves and multi-flowered, sturdy corymbs of yellow on a very orderly, long-lived cushion. An admirable North American member of the genus.

Draba tomentosa         sold out

Seed-grown from a Chris Chadwell collection. Compact fuzzy mounds and white flowers on short stems in Spring. 

Draba yunnanensis        7cm...£3.00
