    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is a natural hybrid between S. umbrosa and S. hirsuta that occurs where the parent species' ranges overlap in the Pyrenees. S. x geum forms dark evergreen carpets of open rosettes with spoon-like leaves formed of long petioles (leaf stems) and rounded leaf blades with serrated edges. Reddish stems give rise to white flowers spotted with red in summer. Enjoys damp, shady conditions.

    A natural cross between S. hirusta and S. umbrosa from Spain…clumps of deep green, spoon shaped leaves are evergreen and look great whatever the weather! White star shaped flowers on tall waving stems April and May…slowly expanding clumps form pretty, 4-6" high, small scale ground cover. Well suited to rock gardens, troughs and pots. Well drained soils, let dry out between watering, morning sun to light shade..will take more sum with more water.
