Saxifraga kolenatiana

Stunning, signal-red flowers make this plant different from most of the other silver encrusted Sax (which are usually white or cream). The flowers are carried on long, branched stems in early summer.

It makes nice domes of pale, silvery green rosettes and we find it a good grower that quickly (for its type) forms stout mounds, attractive all year round. It should be more widely grown.
