    Saxifraga stolonifera, also called Strawberry Geranium, is a spreading, evergreen perennial with round, gray-green foliage marked by prominent silver veins and maroon undersides. Airy clusters of white flowers bloom on slender stems. Prefers moist, rich, well-drained soil with regular water. Plant in woodland gardens, shady borders and containers. Can be mass planted as colorful groundcover. Also a great candidate for a humid, closed terrarium!
