Plant Profile: Saxifraga stolonifera

This plant, often referred to as "Mother of Thousands," is known for its low drought tolerance and its ability to spread through slender red stolons that produce new plantlets at their tips. It serves as an appealing ground cover in the warmer regions of the Piedmont and coastal plains, featuring heart-shaped green leaves adorned with unique white veins on the upper side and a striking red hue underneath.

The growth habit is characterized by a low, spreading mat.

Propagation occurs through the division of plantlets that emerge from these thread-like runners.
