I am finally starting to feel brave again after our super bad winters of 08/09 and 09/10. My brother in Phoenix has lost a few things to the cols as well, so sad!

I'll have to put them on my list along with Wild Ginger. Silver Saxifrages looks like a good one, but I can only find it available through Amazon UK...maybe I'll check the (amazing) library of Sean Hogan, or see if I can get it on an interlibrary loan.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-50440092831853504042013-01-16T18:39:17.498-08:002013-01-16T18:39:17.498-08:00It's a whole other world of Saxifrages! I hav...It's a whole other world of Saxifrages! I haven't ever seen any of those in gardens or nurseries around here. The ones I have grown before are the more tender herbaceous S. stolonifera, which thrives in well drained shade, and can take over. Those frosted edged ones look fantastic, but probably not as easy here without some winter chill. So they look perfect for that hardy succulent look. I imagine they'd look fantastic with Agave bracteosa. Can you grow Echeveria agavoides and E. elegans or imbricata up there outside in winter with some shelter from heavy rain? We just had a week of freezing weather here in the Bay Area, and first casualties were all my Agave attenuata Ray of Light and various Aeoniums. Just cosmetic, but needlessly left uncovered the first night. You'd all laugh at worrying about lows of 28/29F, but I breathed a sigh of relief. Here's hoping our winters have enough rain and not too cold :)<br />David Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-86413608491168171022013-01-16T17:25:46.684-08:002013-01-16T17:25:46.684-08:00Wild Ginger has them; if Mount Tahoma is still in ...Wild Ginger has them; if Mount Tahoma is still in business (when they stopped doing mail order I sulked for a whole year)they offered a large selection of silver saxifrages. Laporte Avenue Nursery here in Colorado sells quite a few, too.<br />With the ones that don't form a single rosette, you can take rooted cuttings of the offsets. <br />Beryl Bland's book Silver Saxifrages, published by the Alpine Garden Society, is excellent.
