Name: Mother of thousands (saxifraga stolonifera)
Zones: 7 to 9SIZE: Up to1 foot tall and 18 inches wide
Conditions: Partail to full shade; moist, well-drained soil
The same quality that earned mother of thousands its name makes it a superb ground cover: its prodigious ability to produce offspring. Carpets of round, silver-veined leaves send out thin red stolons to steadily capture new ground. The result is a tight, ground- level cover that brightens the shade with 2-foot-tall plumes of small white flowers in late spring.
