Saxifraga x urbium ‘Aureopunctata’ | Variegated London Pride
DESCRIPTION
Saxifraga x urbium 'Aureopunctata' is a perennial prized for its bold, gold-spotted leaves and delicate flowers. In late spring to early summer, it produces slender stems topped with clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers that rise above the foliage, adding an airy quality to its appearance. The plant forms low-growing rosettes of evergreen, oval-shaped, deeply veined leaves that are bright green with golden-yellow spots, sometimes taking on a reddish tint. Thriving in partial to full shade, 'Aureopunctata' is well-suited for rock gardens, woodland gardens, and shaded borders. It is low-maintenance, resistant to pests and diseases, and prefers moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Regular watering and mulching around the base help it thrive, making it a reliable and beautiful addition to shaded garden areas.
