A quick search on the web came up with these two URL's for Paederota
http://www.toyen.uio.no/botanisk/bothage/database/
http://sigov1.sigov.si/tnp/
Upon review of the URLs they did not say to much, but I would treat them
as an hardy perennial. Sow like an Alpine. They will need
strafication.
If this works, then you can see review this table
