Saxifraga Dancing Pixies Series

Common name: Dancing Pixies Saxifrage

Description: This charming series of compact perennial saxifrages forms neat cushions of small, succulent-like rosettes that produce delicate sprays of star-shaped flowers in various colours including white, pink, rose, and purple. The flowers appear to dance above the foliage on wiry stems, creating a fairy-like effect that gives the series its whimsical name. These hardy perennials are excellent for rock gardens, alpine troughs, or front-of-border plantings where their intricate detail can be appreciated. The evergreen rosettes provide year-round structure and interest.
