Saxifraga stolonifera

Slightly different type of propagation - using stolons or runners. Saxifraga stolonifera, sends out stolons to spread naturally. You can cut these off and peg them into some compost and generate new plants. I've used paper clip wire to peg them down. I can already see new growth, these are about 6 weeks on, a bag has been kept over the pot to keep moisture in, and thus no need for additional watering yet #saxifraga #saxifraga-stolonifera #strawberrysaxifrage #propagation #propagation-stolons

I have this plant in my garden Richard ,not heard it called strawberry saxifrage before, but makes perfect sense!

My mom was great with these.... me, not so much! 😂

That looks very much a plant I have, I had it indoors, put it outside in a pot, that fell over, broke and somehow survived in the most unlikely crack between a wall and path, I will go find it tomorrow and see if it’s in flower, will be interesting

Me too Joan, although never got round to planting it yet as the blo*dy vine weevil larvae keep getting to it whilst it’s in a pot recovering. Hence why I decided to cut of the stolons and take them indoors to get some proper roots before venturing back outside. I’ve not heard it called Strawberry saxifrage either @joanboston

🤭🙈 @KariSamuel - I haven’t quite worked out their ideal growing conditions yet but working on it! I think it’s typically moist and shady

Oh yes please @kathy , would be interested to see if it’s the same thing. Amazing where some plants can survive 😀

I bought these at a charity plant sale at a Woodland Trust event in Hertfordshire two weeks ago - they were simply advertised as 'Ground Cover' - 20 pence 😀. Anyone know what they might be?

It's Saxifraga stolonifera. Beautiful plant for a moist, shady spot.

It spreads lots of baby plants. It's got a pretty delicate flower too.

Thanks @tiggrx @joanboston 😁👍🏼 - is it hardy from your experience? I just did a Google search and it seemed to suggest it is not frost hardy 🤔

I think it is reasonably hardy but have personally only ever grown it as a house plant.
