Chrysosplenium
Linnaeus sp. Golden saxifrage. We
love this little deciduous groundcover for its flat layers and the way it
brightens shade, though it also does well in full sun. It comes from W China, but its identity is
not certain. There are hundreds of Chrysosplenium taxa in the world and dozens
in China, most of them quite
similar. Our plant emerges in early spring and seeds around gently.
Its acid yellow-green contrasts sharply with most other plants. Height
under 2 cm (1"). Zone 5, perhaps colder.
Pot 6 cm / 2.5". $5.00 |
