Morina longifolia, the Himalayan whorlflower, is a hardy perennial from the Himalayan foothills, grown in borders and rock gardens. The key to growing it is good drainage and enough sun, since shade and wet roots lead to rot.

A perennial hardy to USDA zone 6a, it is recommended for borders and beds, in courtyard, cottage, gravel and rock gardens, but is subject to rot if there is too much shade.
