Saxifraga Cymbalaria

Possibly the easiest to grow of all saxifrages, this quick growing flower opens countless masses of small yellow star-shaped flowers. These arise in spring and early summer on a low shiny cushion of tiny, rounded, succulent, heart-shaped leaves. They are truly special, because, unlike most other saxifrages, they self-seed gently into cracks where very few other plants will grow or establish, and very much like Erinus, the "fairy foxglove" they rarely become a nuisance, flowering the year the are sown. Can be best sown by carefully, and very thinly, sowing in situ!
