Product Details

Guarantee

Dense rosettes of glossy green foliage provide year-round interest before delicate sprays of pale pink-white flowers appear on slender stems in late spring.

Saxifraga umbrosa, often known as London Pride, is treasured for its ability to brighten shadier parts of the garden with elegant, understated beauty. The gently scalloped leaves create a lush carpet effect, while the airy flowers seem to hover above the foliage, bringing softness and movement to borders and woodland settings. Its naturally spreading habit allows it to knit planting schemes together beautifully, giving gardens a mature, settled appearance over time. Tough yet refined, this perennial suits everything from cottage gardens to more contemporary spaces. The combination of evergreen foliage and graceful flowering makes it a dependable performer that earns attention without overwhelming neighbouring plants. Ultimate height: 30cm (12in). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Growing Information

Saxifraga prefers cool conditions and sharply drained soil, making it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, gravel beds, or the front of borders. Plant in full sun or light partial shade, especially in warmer climates where some afternoon shade helps prevent stress. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, as excessive winter wet can damage the roots. Remove faded flower stems after blooming to maintain a neat appearance, and divide mature clumps every few years in early spring or autumn to rejuvenate growth and prevent overcrowding.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Large Non-standard items may incur a higher, lorry delivery charge. Charges will be calculated at checkout, but an example of the lorry charges are listed below.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
