An awesome winter interest perennial, the large leaves on this turn brilliant burgundy during the winter! Bright rose red flowers on tall stalks stand well above the 12" tall clumps of foliage and are choice cut flowers as well. This slowly expanding Saxifrage enjoys morning sun or bright shade for best winter leaf color…most soils (but prefers humus and good drainage); also excels in pots and is a great winter container choice that looks great all year.
