Saxifraga stolonifera

Saxifraga stolonifera

Known by several names such as "Mother of thousands" and creeping saxifrage amongst others, this perennial groundcover spreads via threadlike runners with its little plantlets taking root in the vicinity of the parent plant. The attractive leaves are green with silvery grey and reddish hues. 

It is much admired for its attractive small white flowers with distinctive pointed petals.  It can also be grown indoors.  When grown outside it is hardy down to zero but will not survive prolonged freezing temperatures. 

Saxifraga stolonifera requires a sheltered spot in full shade or partial shade.  It makes an excellent groundcover, and you can see this in the photo below in our garden. This wonderful little plant has been awarded the RHS Garden of Merit.  Easily split and will multiply quickly

Height to 30cm with flower stems - spreading habit
