Alternate-leaf golden saxifrage is a low-growing groundcover that thrives in moist, shaded spots such as stream banks, bog gardens, or woodland edges. It prefers consistently wet, humus-rich soil and will struggle in dry or sunny positions. An excellent choice for filling damp, shady corners where few other plants perform well.
