Saxifraga ‘Hsitou Silver’ | Strawberry Geranium
DESCRIPTION
Saxifraga 'Hsitou Silver' is a mat-forming perennial prized for its silvery-green foliage and delicate white flowers. The rounded leaves are adorned with intricate silver veining, giving them a frosted, almost metallic appearance that adds a unique texture and visual interest to the plant. In late spring to early summer, clusters of tiny, star-shaped white flowers emerge, rising above the silvery foliage and creating a beautiful contrast. The delicate blooms and shimmering leaves make it a perfect choice for rock gardens, alpine settings, or shaded borders.
This variety originates from Taiwan, specifically the Hsitou area, and is known for its ability to thrive in cooler climates and high-altitude environments. 'Hsitou Silver' is particularly well-suited for rockeries and containers, where its intricate veined foliage and low-growing, cushion-like habit can be fully appreciated. The silver veining adds a refined touch to the plant, making it a standout feature in any garden setting.
