Chrysosplenium alternifolium, commonly known as golden saxifrage, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to damp woodlands and shady areas in Europe and Asia. It is a low-growing plant with small round leaves that are bright green and slightly glossy, forming a dense carpet-like groundcover. In spring, it produces tiny yellow-green flowers on slender stems that rise above the foliage, creating a delicate and charming display. Golden saxifrage is a versatile and attractive plant that can be grown in moist soils or near water features, making it suitable for gardens with damp or shady areas.
Why we like it:
- Creates a lush, dense groundcover that adds interest and texture to garden beds
- Tolerates damp and shady conditions, making it a great choice for difficult garden areas
- The delicate yellow-green flowers add a pop of color to spring gardens
What to know:
- Golden saxifrage prefers moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full shade
- It is a low-maintenance plant that does not require regular pruning or fertilization
- The flowering period typically lasts from late winter to early spring, depending on the climate
- Golden saxifrage can be propagated by division in early spring or autumn
- This plant is relatively short-lived, but it self-seeds readily and can create new colonies over time
Height and Spread:
- When fully grown, Chrysosplenium alternifolium typically reaches a height of around 10cm and a spread of 30-45cm.
