These beautiful Alpine perennials delight in a light, sandy soil, and are easily propagated by seed or division. It is most convenient to grow the rare and tender kinds in pots, as they require the protection of a frame in winter. Saxifraga Sibthorpii is very suitable for the lower and damper parts of rock-work. It is hardy, and sheds its seed freely. Saxifrage Umbrosa (London Pride) makes a neat border, and is also useful for rock-work. Saxifrage Sarmentosa (Mother-of-Thousands) is a fine hanging plant for greenhouse or window.

The saxifrage (london pride) grows to a height of 4 in. to 6 in.

It flowers in April.
