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.
Nice plants of one of the best of the mossy saxifrages. This is one of the first to flower of this group in the spring with buds showing quite early. Tight darkly evergreen green mats of closely packed needle-leafed rosettes which can be obscured with the unabashed profusion of red flowers with yellow centers. A easy plant for sun to half sun as long as it has a moisture retentive yet well drained soil - the classic soil condition so it seems! Great in the rock garden, edging along a path, nice in containers. It's main bugaboos are drought, lengthy hot sun/reflected heat and too much shade. Hardy to zone 4.
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.
This is a vastly superior form from Elizabeth Strangman which we received from John Flintoff. It is regarded as the best pink flowered selection and and puts on a grand show once it becomes a nice patch. Evergreen and easy in light shade and reasonably moist.
A superb collection of this Strawberry Saxifrage by the Wynn-Jones of Crug Farm who found this in the Hsitou area of Taiwan. Fantastic green leaves variegated in silver-white and while it could be our imagination taking wing after being bowled over by the foliage, the white flowers seem larger than usual on their 18"-24" stems. Moist, shade, zone 6-9.
Presumably a selection by rock garden pioneer H. Lincoln
Foster. Tight rosettes of silver-encrusted leaves are complemented by tall
sprays of deep red flowers in spring. Thrives in the rock garden, containers,
or other sunny areas with excellent drainage. Classic choice for tufa planting should you be so lucky.
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.
This Strawberry Saxifrage has rich colored leaves quite maroon underneath and intricately marked in silver on top. This sends out runners like a strawberry which makes new plants at the tips & makes a great groundcover for moist shade. Dandy and delicate white/pink flowers on 18" stems. This has proved itself in our shade garden.
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.
A collection from Japan by the Wynn-Jones from the higher elevations in the mountains of the Kinki Peninsula in central Honshu. This is very similar to the clone 'Maroon Beauty' which is no diminishment. Good purplish leaves with paler highlights and impressive flowers for a Sax with tall stems bearing flocks of white blooms. Moist and shade.
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.
Excellent form from the legendary Steve Doonan and one whose name has been lost in distant horticultural banter of years past. Despite its nameless status, we easily recognize it by its numerous robust (for its size) flower stems sporting large (again, for its size) creamy flowers.
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.
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.
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.
