Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is from a wild collection in Gotemba Japan and is part of that Saxifraga fortunei alliance that we are so smitten by. We'll try to find the time to key out the species on this one but know that you are holding a rarity. Low clumper with sprays of airy white flowers. Moist well-drained soil.
