Notes
Pyramidal saxifrage (Saxifraga cotyledon) is an evergreen perennial for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun and dry to average, sandy or chalky soil. It grows about 12 inches tall and wide. The soil can be alkaline or neutral, so it suits a pot with gritty mix.
Pairs well with Lime Zinger sedum, Blue fescue, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
