Strawberry Saxifrage

Strawberry Saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) is a perennial herb native to the mountainous regions of East Asia and Southeast Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Myanmar, and Vietnam. This plant thrives in partial sun or shade with moist conditions and prefers light, medium, or heavy soils. Known for its edible leaves and stems, it can be found growing wild in areas with a hardiness range of 6 to 10. One distinctive feature is its ability to spread through stolons, forming dense mats that add ornamental value to gardens. Its common name hints at the strawberry-like appearance of its fruit, though the plant itself does not produce true strawberries.
