Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Exquisite clumps of artistically carved, deeply toothed leaves symmetrically arranged in rounded crowns forming 4” tall evergreen mounds that slowly multiply. Showy bloom of frothy white flowers in mid spring on tall stems put this one over the top! Moist organic soil in light shade makes this one shine – also nice in pots. USDA Z7

A "toothy" leaved selection of a cross between S. hirusta and S. umbrosa, naturally occurring in the Pyrenees mountains. An evergreen groundcover, with mat-forming rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves to 3" across and, in summer, clusters of tiny, white-spotted-red flowers on stalks standing above the plants. Part shade with summer water; accepts more light with more water. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.

In the summer a cloud of tiny star-shaped white flowers, spotted with red, floats in clusters on 8“ stalks. Easy to grow and likes part shade. Spreads into nice clumps.
