Rue-leaf saxifrage
Saxifraga tridactylites
Rue-leaf saxifrage is a delicate, small-statured plant best suited to rock gardens, wall crevices, and alpine troughs where it receives partial shade and good drainage. Water regularly during the growing season but ensure the substrate drains freely to prevent root rot. It is a low-growing charmer that works well in naturalistic or cottage-garden settings with minimal fertilization needed.
