Yellow-splashed evergreen leaves provide all-year interest and brightness
Sprays of airy pink flowers
Great groundcover for shady areas, paving crevices and rockeries
Creamy-yellow splashes across evergreen leaves give Saxifraga x urbium 'Variegata' colour and interest long before its flowers appear. This attractive form of London Pride creates low mats of spoon-shaped foliage, brightening shaded borders, rockeries and woodland edges throughout the year. In spring and early summer, airy stems carry clouds of tiny white flowers lightly flushed with pink, adding a delicate, floating effect above the richly patterned leaves. The variegated foliage catches the light beautifully, making it especially useful for lifting darker corners of the garden. Compact yet vigorous, it spreads steadily to form an elegant ground-hugging display that looks neat in every season. Its soft colouring blends effortlessly with ferns, hostas and other shade-loving plants, bringing texture and brightness to planting schemes. Ultimate height and spread: 30cm (12in).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Saxifraga prefers cool conditions and sharply drained soil, making it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, gravel beds, or the front of borders. Plant in full sun or light partial shade, especially in warmer climates where some afternoon shade helps prevent stress. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, as excessive winter wet can damage the roots. Remove faded flower stems after blooming to maintain a neat appearance, and divide mature clumps every few years in early spring or autumn to rejuvenate growth and prevent overcrowding.
