Description:
Saxifraga stolonifera 'Tricolor', also called variegated strawberry geranium or strawberry begonia, is a new take on an old house plant that is actually quite hardy. This is a spreading evergreen perennial with spectacular variegation. Fuzzy, round, gray-green leaves have variable creamy-white margins often flushed with pink and maroon undersides. Delicate clusters of airy white flowers dance on slender stems well above the foliage. Long strawberry-like runners produce baby plants. Use as a ground cover in the shady garden and as a houseplant!
