Maroon-red tones tint the leaves and the stems of this 15-18" tall shade-tolerant groundcover; it spreads (as any groundcover should) and presents as well, clusters of white flowers (in late spring). S-PSh/M

An exquisite selection of a much underused genus that excels as a ground cover for shaded areas – Rosettes of deep burgundy velvet leaves veined in platinum, stolonize (nicely…these plants play well with others) to create a rich, carpeting tapestry! 2' flowering stems in profusion produce dainty white flowers for weeks in early summer. Loam or humus soil - summer moisture and some degree of shade.

It's love all over again for this shade tolerant spreader. Commonly called Strawberry Begonia, 'Maroon Beauty' is a selection of creeping Saxifraga with burgundy wine markings on it's rounded dark olive foliage, and wispy white petals, some etched with purple, on 12" wiry stems. Foliage stays under 3-4". Winters over in zone 6 in garden areas that have good drainage. We love to tuck it in containers..it sends out dainty blooms in spring and has interesting trailing foliage all summer.

Named for its slender strawberry-like red runners and flashy maroon undersides, this colonizing Saxifraga hosts intricately etched evergreen rosettes of thick rounded gray-green leaves with scalloped margins, silver hairs and pewter veins. Rising above the low growing velvet soft mat, wispy 5-petaled pink-tinged white flowers are loosely arranged on delicate 18 in. stalks. Appreciative of shade and evenly moist well-drained soil, 'Maroon Beauty' lends enchanting accents to the woodlands, rockery or a small container. Hardy to zone 7.

This Strawberry Saxifrage has rich colored leaves quite maroon underneath and intricately marked in silver on top. This sends out runners like a strawberry which makes new plants at the tips & makes a great groundcover for moist shade. Dandy & delicate white/pink flowers on 18" stems.
