Saxifraga x primulaize 'Salmon'

An unusual hybrid growing as neat mounds of light green, slightly fleshy rosettes which produce wiry 15cm (6") stems of starry, orangey-red flowers in July and August, well after the other Saxifraga have finished. It's a very distinctive plant for the summer rock garden and the unique flowers are freely produced.

Easy to grow but much prefers cooler conditions, slightly moist (or just not too dry) with perhaps a little light shade.  

One of our favourites - it just has a unique look.
