Saxifraga fortunei
Saxifraga fortunei, commonly known as "The Fortune Saxifrage," showcases striking reddish-brown glossy leaves with a wax-like texture, offering an exotic allure to any garden. This unusual plant presents delicate sprays of tiny white flowers in early autumn, adding a touch of elegance to its surroundings. Fully hardy and adaptable, it thrives best in a semi shaded location, reaching a height of 30-40cm.
