Saxifraga x geum ‘Dentata’ | Dentata Saxifrage

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Saxifraga x geum 'Dentata' produces delicate sprays of small, white flowers in late spring to early summer, held on slender stems above the foliage and attracting bees and other early pollinators. Rounded, evergreen leaves are rich green with finely toothed margins and a softly textured surface, forming compact rosettes that gradually spread into a dense, low-growing mat. The neatly layered foliage provides year-round texture, while the airy flower stems add lightness and movement during the bloom season.

Developed through hybrid breeding involving European saxifrage species, this cultivar was selected for its refined foliage and dependable flowering. It is well suited to rock gardens, alpine troughs, crevice gardens, borders, and containers, where its evergreen rosettes and delicate blooms provide enduring texture and seasonal charm.
