The colors of the flowers, which are born high above the matt on wire-like stems range from whites to shades of pink and red. This group can be similar to the following group, but generally these plants have flat, gray leaves in a very neat rosette. Leaves toward the center of the rosette are smaller than those on the edges. The flower stalks come from the center of the rosettes. Using limestone chips under the rosettes will help provide sufficient lime for the plants to do well.
Propagation takes some special treatment.
Put separate rosettes in a mixture of sand and leaf mold which is thoroughly moist. Enclose in a plastic bag placed in the shade until the rosettes root. This process may take a month or longer. Some species in this group include Saxifrage grisebachii, S. media , and S. porphylla . Hybrids are frequently found.
