Why will I love it?
With its rosette of fuzzy, dark-green leaves – silver-grey veins on top and a striking red underside – the strawberry geranium (Saxifraga stolonifera) is a wooer. One of its many names is “mother of thousands”, referring to the way it sends out reddish-pink, threadlike stolons, with plantlets that hang like parachutes. In late summer, blooming clusters of small, cream flowers with distinctive pointed petals are a delight.
Light or shade?
Bright, indirect light to partial shade.
