SAXIFRAGA CORTUS ~ 'SILVER VELVET'


SAXIFRAGA CORTUS ~ 'SILVER VELVET'

This is another one I bought today at the GC, on first seeing it I thought it was another Heuchera with a different kind of flower, but soon found after reading the ticket that it wasn't......I was fooled!!!!! it's such a lovely marked leaf and a pretty little flower I just had to bring it home with me.

Very nice, mine is flowerng well in the garden, are you keeping it in a pot or planting it out?

I've planted it in a pot until next year, I must admit the leaves are very pretty on them. Do they die right back through the winter Plantoholic?

Yes L, they start dying back with the first hard frosts :o)

Oh thanks Plantoholic, at least I wont think I've killed it.Have you the same opinion as myself, I think they are very much like Heuchera do you?
