Golden Drop

Golden Drop (Onosma) - O. taurica is an evergreen perennial, 6 to 12 inches high, soon forming dense tufts, and bearing in summer drooping clusters of clear yellow almond-scented blossoms. The best place for it is the rock garden in a sunny position, drained, with a good depth of soil, so that the plants may root strongly between the stones, the soil a good sandy loam, mixed with broken grit. It is impatient of disturbance and abhors rich soils. Seeds are rarely if ever produced in this country. Cuttings, if secured with a heel attached when quite young and inserted without further ado in sandy soil in a handlight, root freely in early summer. Greece. O. albo-roseum from Asia Minor, and O. Bourgcei from Armenia, are characterised by woolly leaves and are dwarfer habited. Their larger drooping flowers are colored rose and white. All respond to the same method of increase and similar conditions of cultivation. They are among the choicest of alpine flowers.
