Saxifraga 'Freckles' is a mound-forming, evergreen alpine plant, bearing rosettes of silver-green leaves from which branched stems with small white, red-speckled flowers appear from spring to summer. It's perfect for growing in a rock garden or alpine planter on a sunny patio.

For best results grow Saxifraga 'Freckles' in gritty, free-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Prevent water-logging around the crown of the plant by mulching with grit or pebbles.
