Gymnospermium albertii (syn. Leontice alberti) [1] [2] is a species in the genus Gymnospermium in the family Berberidaceae. [1]
Tuberous perennial. [1]
It is native to rocky hillsides in Central Asia ( Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan). [1]
Easily raised from seed. Very hardy. Successful in open, well-drained soil. Grows well in unheated glasshouses. [1]
