Round-leaf saxifrage
Saxifraga rotundifolia
Round-leaf saxifrage is a charming European alpine perennial that produces delicate white star-shaped flowers above rounded, kidney-shaped leaves in shaded, moist environments. It thrives in cool, humus-rich soil in a shaded or woodland garden setting and makes an excellent ground cover under trees. Keep the soil moist and protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
