Saxifrage 'Monarch'

There are hundreds of Saxifrages. Most are small plants, sometimes succulent, often growing in a rosette of leaves, and have flowers, sometimes in clusters, sometimes singly. 'Monarch' is a robust plant that will make good mounds of silvery rosettes. Large, broad leaves, pale yellowish green. The flower spikes - which appear in summer - are especially long and graceful with white flowers, spotted pink.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

The perennial plant needs moist shade and is hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 to 7 in temperate regions. Growing rockfoil requires cool sites which mimic its alpine native ranges. The plants require moist soil, especially in spring when they are growing the most. Give it a location with some shelter from wind and hot sun. Mix in a little compost with existing soil at planting time.
