Members of this family have thick glaucous leaves. Their native habitat 
is the dry rocky mountain sides of Europe and America. They are very 
hardy, drought resisting and like the broad sunlight in most instances, but 
most varieties will thrive in a limited amount of shade. The dwarfs are 
excellent in the rock garden and the medium and taller sorts are fine for 
the perennial border.
