We were surprised at how easily this succulent alpine perennial germinated and grew quickly into recognizable baby rosettes. Commonly known as houseleeks, they were once grown on roofs, and in historical folklore, it was believed they brought wealth and prosperity, protection from fire; especially from the Norse Thunder god, Thor who was said to throw thunderbolts down upon dwellings. In today's gardens, they can be tucked right into rocky and dry areas, requiring very little soil, or grown in pots.

Inexpensive and Nice Quality
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
I was hoping there would be more of a firmness to these pillows, however they are more soft than I was expecting them to be. Id recommend these pillows for someone who wants a fairly non firm pillow.

Not for side sleepers
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows are quite soft and flat, and offer very little support. I sleep on my side and can't use these pillows. I don't know why they're recommended for side sleepers.
