Superb little performer from China that is like some sort of impish Thalictrum with short stems to 6" and open umbels of blue and white flowers. The main show is in late spring but the flowers keep coming all summer. Just a sweet bit of conversational perfection along the edge of a path.

There really isn't anything like this - a plant with no comparables. Early spring yellow stars followed by leathery lobed green leaves in a dense low mound. It is the early yellow flowers that steal the show in part because they have so little competition and in part because they are so unique. As the season progresses, the yellow bracts turn to green and look like perfect green flowers well into summer. We did a little plant profile on this for Fine Gardening spring of 2011.

Compact little plant that lends itself to formal edging as it is naturally a very tight, small rounded dome of small green leaves that gets its groove on with a shameless display of yellow button flowers. We will never be confused with formal and in keeping, our plant is immensely happy in our free-form dry garden. Just a quick shearing of the spent flowers and good to go. Deer proof.

Rock Soapwort. This is a lovely and tough rock garden or crevice plant from the Pyrenees where it grows in exposed sheer rock faces. Dense cushions of close-packed rosettes with narrow short green leaves. Pink-purple flowers are held on short 2" stems in groups of one to three. One becomes a group when hanging with the Threes. Full sun, good drainage, zones 3-8.

This species was only recently described by botanist Julian Shaw in 2012 from a collection in Hoang Lien Son range on the second summit trail of Phansi Pu in Vietnam. These are second-generation seed-grown plants from a 2011 recollection by Floden-Mitchell & Wynn-Jones. Discovered and introduced by Bleddyn Wynn-Jones with the expected evergreen leaves and early season scented white flowers. These are young plants.

Purple Stem Sweet Box, Wonderfully fragrant winter bloomer in December and January whose small white flowers with pink calyces perfume a disproportionate area relative to their size. Narrow alternate evergreen leaves on a plant up to 30" tall but usually shorter. This small evergreen is the same plant offered as var. digyna which has opposite leaves or as var. humilis which is a synonym of var. digyna but the taxonomy shifts like the wind.

A Roy Lancaster introduction of the variety chinensis from Yunnan, China (which in of itself, is reason enough to have this plant in the collection but then Roy is a hero to us so we're biased but not without reason) of an invaluable winter blooming shrub tolerant of deep shade with white fragrant flowers from late fall into early winter. Superb shade evergreen shrub.

This species of the uniformly winning genus hails from Southeast Asia and India. Glossy evergreen foliage slightly longer than many of its fellows paired with fragrant white flowers nestled nicely in the leaf axils across much of the stem make it a solid choice of medium size shrub for a relatively mild spot.

This choice Chinese perennial is related to our native Ginger or Asarum and Saruma being an anagram of Asarum shows that even taxonomists are not above the occasional botanical hijink.. Felty heart shaped foliage bronze when young and half inch yellow flowers right away in spring continues to bloom through the summer. These succeeds nicely in Chicago which seems like Siberia to us softies here in the PNW. This is easy..

Another exceptional introduction from the masters of their craft at Aberconwy Nursery in Wales. This red-flowered, mossy saxifage is one we were smitten by - along with literally every other plant - when we visited this Mecca for the alpine plant enthusiast. We visited Aberconwy and Bodnant in March and had to breathe into our paper lunch bags to keep from passing out.

Choice little silver encrusted saxifrage which is a likely hybrid between S. paniculata and S. cochlearis. One of the delightful subtleties of this bit of botanical jewelry is the reddish coloring on the basal third of the leaves. The white flowers are nice but unnecessary as it is fine sculpture on its own. No hot sun.

});">
Saxifraga cochlearis is native to the southeastern Alps and this form 'Major' is speculated to be a hybrid with S. callosa which would account for its extra vigor. Not a bad thing at all! This makes clustered rosettes of foliage encrusted in silvery deposits and has white flowers in spring. Good in a trough or rock garden.

});">
A very good form of the species collected by Dan Hinkley in China. All parts - leaves, scape or flower stem, flowers - larger than typically found in the species at least when compared to the 8 or 9 clones we grow. Fresh grass green leaves are marked in silver and the up to 20" + flower stems bears a snowstorm of simple white flowers with their diagnostic longer lower two petals which places this species in Section Irregulares. This will thrive in the moist shade garden but prefers light to bright shade.

Rarely does a first glance at a plant so completely peel off the veneer of civility with such an instantaneous upwelling of lust, greed, larceny and deceit as this one: "OMG! I gotta have this - I need at least three - damn - only 2 left - I'll pinch one out of that person's box - who, me?" Black purple leaves and ruby pink flowers in August-October.

});">
A superlative form of this Saxifrage which we got years ago from Wendy Perry at Bosvigo Plants in England who got it from Elizabeth Strangman at Washfield Nursery. Very compact with lots of short stems bearlng airy white flowers. A true connoisseur's plant for moist lightly shaded spots.

});">
Consistent seedlings from a fine selection from Japan, this fall flowering shade perennial has soft old rose flowers that are unusually rounded and though small, there are lots. . 'Mai-hime' or often 'Maihime', translates to "Dancing Girl'' which still seems perfectly appropriate even though these differ from the named form.

Saxifraga fortunei is very diverse with a wide range of leaf shapes, size and flower color. Makino, who was a preeminent Japanese botanist, assigned various varietal names to these different leaf types which isn’t widely accepted now. We like it it though. Small compact form with shallow rounded lobes and white flowers.

Awesome little plant with fresh winter foliage which gives way to 8"-12" tall dense stems with an improbable number of pure white double flowers. Goes summer dormant so don't panic although we still do. Cool plant native to the UK and Europe and favoring vernally wet areas.

This is likely a hybrid and we guessed with longifolia but who knows? Hybridity just means extra vigor and a better garden plant with fabulous big silver-crusted long leaves in showy rosettes supporting tall sprays of white flowers. Bright shade to morning sun is ideal. Easy.

We are crackers over this group of Saxifrage and this species pleases us no end. Rosettes of rounded leaves with a an entrancing (we would be such ideal subjects for hypnosis) purplish coloration where the leaf blade joins the petiole and that dark color lines out through the leaf in the veins. Small white snowflake flowers typical of the Irregulares section are a perfect combo.
