Draba aizoides, a native of the mountains of Europe, is a perennial that has small, dark green leaves and yellow flowers in late spring
Flowering

Clusters of small four-petalled flowers appear in late Spring or eraly Summer
Planting

The best conditions to grow this plant is in a gravel rock garden. Grow in a very well-drained,gritty soil, in a sunny site, where the plant can be protected from excessive Winter rain. It is best to avoid getting the foliage wet where possible.
Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seeds in a pot or tray filled with proprietary seed-sowing compost, or a 50/50 mix of multi-purpose compost and perlite or coarse grit. Sow large seeds with space between the seeds, and sow small seeds thinly, and cover the seeds with a thin layer of sieved compost (unless it is a type of seed that needs light to germinate). Water gently with a fine rose on the watering-can, allowing excess water to drain away.
