Androsace ciliata

I've got an Androsace ciliata as a present. I am so happy, it is a very nice plant, especially when in flower. On the weekend I planted it in a trough to have time to establish itself until the summer hot days come.
I know very well that the alpine plant's root system is usually much larger than the plant above the ground. But still I was amazed seeing the roots of this little, single rosette plant.


I put it on a 1.5 cm wide artificial crevice and I hope for the best. Here it is planted:



On a close picture can be seen the little cilia on the leaves:
