Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Nice little clumper for the rock garden or special niche from plant guru Steve Doonan. Airy sprays of small red flowers are most becoming. Likes a well-drained soil that gets some water now and then. Not as drought tolerant as Hens and Chicks but then what is? Very nice form of this Saxifrage.
