Saxifraga fortunei 'Ogon No Mai'



A late flowering cultivar with variable double, greenish flowers. I got it from Hartside Nursery, their label says:

"Large creamy white flowers in autumn."

Edrom Nursery say:

"Creamy flowers and apple-green foliage with reddish marbling on this super Japanese Saxifrage."

John Sirkett wrote:

"S. ’Ogon No Mai' is a very late flowering form, well suited to the climate of Cornwall, where the November flowers will escape damage by frost. The greenish flowers are supported on short cushions of apple-green foliage. When growing vigorously, the flowers can produce extra petals, but double flowers are best seen on cultivars such as ‘Shiranami'. The bright stems of flowers form a compact dome above the crisp green leaves and it can remain in flower until Christmas, perhaps with some slight protection from extreme cold and wet. "
