A charming, rosette-forming perennial crusty type I got from the Berry Botanic Garden years ago, which tells you it is amazingly long lived. It was in a pot for about 15 years before I finally put it in the new rock wall where the water cistern is. I thought it might be S. cochlearis, then I thought maybe S. paniculata var. baldensis, but it doesn’t seem to really match those perfectly, although I do remember those names from the berry garden days. So I’m just letting it out the door as S. crusty sp. If someone is talented at figuring these things out please let me know what it is.
It has those lovely sprays of white flowers, in late spring/early summer. A remarkable, tough, hardy saxifrage. That reminds me, if you haven’t seen David Sellars presentation entitled “The Joy of Sax’ you really must see it.
