Petrorhagia saxifraga
Saxifrage-pink is a delicate, mat-forming perennial that produces small pale pink flowers and is perfectly suited to rock gardens, wall crevices, and dry, stony soils.

Plant in a sunny or partly shaded spot and avoid heavy, wet soils to keep this low-maintenance plant healthy.
