Alpine Rock Jasmine is a hardy, low-growing perennial known for its delicate clusters of fragrant white to pale pink flowers with bright yellow centers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, these petite blooms rise above dense, mat-forming rosettes of narrow, dark green leaves, adding charm and fragrance to even the smallest garden spaces. The nectar-rich flowers attract small native bees and early-season pollinators, providing a valuable resource in harsh, high-elevation environments.

Naturally found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes, this plant thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soils. Its compact size and tolerance for harsh conditions make it an ideal choice for alpine, crevice, and sunny gardens. While deer resistance has not been well-documented, its low-growing, tough foliage may offer some natural protection.
