Saxifraga pensylvanica
Swamp Saxifrage is found in swamps or boggy habitats. Also called swamp small-flowered-saxifrage, it has small, usually whitish-yellow or greenish-yellow petals, and some have reddish-purple petals. Some native Americans used the tender young leaves as food. It is found in the northeastern United States, from Virginia and Missouri up into New England and the southern tier provinces of Canada where it is found predominantly in wetlands. It can, however be easily grown in the average garden if not allowed to become excessively dry.
The plant can be striking in appearance due to the large leaves and thick inflorescence. The current botanical name is Micranthes pensylvanica, and has the alternate name Saxifraga forbesii.

We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
