Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A super tough, versatile little groundcover that trails & spills & blooms its little head off all through Spring & Summer. Evergreen, with emerald green leaves & dainty (1/2”) yellow flowers lend a cheerful texture to the edge of beds, rock walls, containers & hanging baskets. Compared to other popular trailers of renown, this South African perennial wins super points for its astounding health & vigor. Once established, Cineraria saxifraga will need very little water or maintenance, & can be cut back on an as-needed basis. Established plants will eventually amass about 1’ in height, but spread much wider than tall.
