London pride , Saxifraga umbrosa, is a classic rockery plant, bearing pale green rosettes of spoon-shaped, fleshy leaves. Tall stems of pretty, star-shaped flowers emerge in May and June. It's perfect for growing at the front of the border and edging paths, and in containers or rockeries.

For best results grow Saxifraga umbrosa in moist but well-drained soil, in partial to full shade. Cut back after flowering and divide congested clumps every three to five years. Not fully hardy, plants may need protection in winter.
