Saxifraga cortusifolia var. Yuki

Saxifraga, the popular, sought-after and coveted shade loving perennial originating from the scenic land of Japan, now has this stunning variety. Saxifraga cortusifolia 'Yuki' is a crisp clean white example of this genus. The bright flowers illuminate a shaded spot in your garden, with the white flowers enhanced by the vivid green foliage. Perhaps the most joyous thing about Saxifraga is they bloom late in the year - from September to December. For a shaded moist area in your garden, this Saxifraga is the ideal plant. In their natural Japanese environment, Saxifraga grow in woodland, therefore thriving under trees and near large shrubs. The name Saxifraga is Latin and translates as 'The Rock Breaker', due to the ancient medicinal use of the plant to create a potion which can dissolve kidney stones. Not something we would recommend, though for late season colour, ease of growth, shade loving and attractiveness, Saxifraga cortusifolia 'Yuki ' must be one to consider for brightening up a darker are of your garden.
