Saxifraga oppositifolia is a possibility.

Agree OwdB

cheers. it has a label in it but it is totally blank. the grower said look at the label. DOH!!!

its a pretty little thing and it is to go in my rockery when OH moves the stones in place for me.

Yes, Saxifraga oppositifolia, Purple Saxifrage, occurs across Europe and is native to Scotland.

Very nice and delicate, where should it be planted? Does it flower for long?

In the mountains it grows in very, very poor soil and screes so needs a lean free draining soil in full sun, preferably where there are some rocks. Our S oppositifolia are in flower now in theory they flower in June and July!

Ours are in flower too, very early really. It also comes in different shades of purple.

thanks for the extra info, so i will add plenty of grit to its planting hole.

And Bulba says in spite of info they flower March April!

Info is for wild plants in the mountains, be they the Alps or Ben Lawers in Scotland.
