Chrysosplenium alternifolium - MP139 Packs

Chrysosplenium alternifolium, commonly known as Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage, is a charming, low-growing perennial ideal for damp, shady areas of the garden. This native wildflower forms a dense carpet of small, rounded green leaves, topped in early spring by clusters of tiny, star-like yellow-green flowers that bring a soft brightness to woodland gardens and shaded pond edges.

Thriving in moist, humus-rich soils, Chrysosplenium alternifolium prefers partial to full shade and is particularly well-suited for naturalistic plantings, streambanks, and bog gardens. It spreads gently by creeping stems to form an attractive ground cover, helping to suppress weeds while providing early-season interest. Hardy and low-maintenance, this plant adds subtle color and texture to shaded, moisture-retentive areas, supporting native biodiversity and blending beautifully with ferns, primroses, and other shade-loving species.
