Saxifraga cuneifolia, also known as lesser Londonpride, shield-leaved saxifrage or spoon-leaved saxifrage, is a perennial herb belonging to the Saxifragaceae family. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1759 and its name is derived from its ability to grow in the cracks of rocks. The plant typically grows to be 10-25 centimeters tall with woody and creeping stems. Its leaves are fleshy and wedge-shaped, and its flowers are white and bloom from May to July. Lesser Londonpride is native to central and southern Europe, particularly in mountainous regions with humid soil. It can be found in woodlands, on rocks, and at altitudes of 400-1,600 meters above sea level.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Begin at 20°C for 6 weeks, cool to 4°C for 6 weeks, then gradually increase to 10°C over 6 weeks. If no germination, the cycle is repeated.
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
