Phuopsis stylosa, the Caucasian crucifer, is a low-growing, cushion-forming, aromatic, perennial plant from the madder family.

Phuopsis stylosa is not picky about soil type and is very winter hardy. It flowers in early summer, but you can extend the flowering by pruning it back hard after flowering. In fertile soil this may be necessary anyway, because it is a vigorous plant.
