Micranthes tolmiei, also known as Tolmie's saxifrage or Tolmie's alpine saxifrage, is a small perennial herb native to western North America. It is found in rocky mountain habitats, particularly in alpine climates. The plant has thick, fleshy leaves and produces white flowers with narrow petals and stamens. It was first discovered and named by Dr. William Fraser Tolmie, a young employee of the Hudson's Bay Company, while climbing Mount Rainier in present-day Washington state.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds at 20°C, expecting germination within 3 months without further temperature treatment.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
keep all seed pots x 2 years
