 Saxifraga:
Saxifrages are a large and varied genus of plants. Growing conditions and cultivation can vary accordingly so this is covered for each plants rather than generalising. Generally pest-free, the only likely trouble is vine weevil grubs eating the roots. However, Saxifrages seem to shrug this off and quickly replace eaten roots. Its worth giving plants the "tug test" in spring to check for damage. Find out a lot more about Saxifrages on the website of the Saxifrage Society |

Common Name: Variegated London Pride. Ground hugging rosettes of fleshy green leaves splashed with yellow. These are tough little plants that thrive in deep shade where they retain the best variegation. When grown in sun they can become a bit bleached out. The 1ft spires of starry pink flowers appear in late spring / early summer. Pull off the dead stems after flowering. They love moist soil but will tolerate periods of drought. Propagation is by division.

(fortunei hybrid) Rosettes of fleshy green leaves with red undersides and sprays of tiny white flowers on 1ft stems. Good for a shady spot - we saw them growing on a shady bank at RHS Rosemoor looking stunning in October 2008 (photo on right). It is best to protect plants from late frosts in spring which don't seem to kill the plant but the fresh leaves can be damaged. I cover them will fleece on the nursery or with some small conifer boughs in the garden when air frost is forecast.
