Origin
Saxifraga Variegata, also known as the spotted saxifrage, has its origin in the mountains of central and southern Europe, where it adapted to cool, rocky conditions. In its natural environment, this species often grows in rocky crevices and high alpine meadows, giving guidance on their care requirements in the garden.

Characteristics
Characteristic for Saxifraga Variegata are the light, varied leaves with small white flowers blooming in spring and the first half of summer. The plant features a compact, mat-forming growth habit, typically reaching a height of about 10 cm, with flower stems capable of reaching up to 15 cm. Saxifraga Variegata is a perennial plant, meaning it can live and bloom for several years.

Care
For optimal growth, Saxifraga Variegata needs a sunny to semi-shade location with well-draining soil. Excess water should be avoided as this could lead to root rot, but the plant should be watered regularly in dry periods. Saxifrages are hardy plants, but in particularly cold winters, they may benefit from a protective layer of mulch. The plant only needs to be fertilised during the growing season, not during the winter months.
