Plant this Strawberry saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) is equally content on a windowsill indoors as in shady, sheltered corners outside. Its rosette of hairy, fleshy leaves are joined by spikes of delicate white flowers in early summer; the plant sends out wire-thin runners that grow baby plants. Look out for the stunning green, white and pink cultivar ‘Tricolor’.
