Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A reliable ground cover for even impossible spots in part sun to full shade. Evergreen succulent rosettes are speckled with irregular gold markings. Produces airy panicles of white flowers with a pink tinge in late spring. Useful for edging pathways, for the front of the border in sun to part shade or in containers.

We found this at Heronswood many moons ago…a most 'un-saxi' saxifrage, with spoon shaped overlapping leaves polka dotted with yellow! A ground hugging little mound for part shade, fast draining moist soils, outstanding rock garden. 18" wands of pink flowers last for weeks!
