Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Saxifraga stolonifera 'Harvest Moon', commonly called a strawberry begonia or begonia geranium, is a sport of 'Eco-Butterfly'. The feature here is the eye-popping fuzzy foliage that offers various shades of yellow to gold depending on exposure with hints of burgundy. Delicate clusters of airy pink and white flowers dance well above the foliage. Long, strawberry-like runners produce baby plants. Makes for a great spreading ground cover in the shady garden and as a trailing houseplant.

Just right for a carefree addition to a shaded spot, to only 3-6" tall , spreading slowly into small colonies with golden foliage. Best with just the right amount of light to bring out the brightest of yellows while avoiding any burn. Sprays of tiny white flowers appear in late spring to early summer. Extremely easy in well-drained soil and summer moisture with a little dryness between waterings. Evergreen in USDA zone 8 and 9; root hardy in USDA zone 6.
