Saxifragia in Butchart Gardens cement pot from R. M. Home. Gerard Manley Hopkins clone burseriana. Certainley one of the better burserianas, selected by H.L.Foster 1972. Close to the typical var. but more dense and compact growing. Like most burserianas best in a very well drained soil because in our climate burserianas suffer from too much moisture in autumn and winter. Splendid of course in tufa stone and in a trough. Slower growth and rooting. I have a piece of this one in the big tufa rock with the Lilac Time - bloomed early Spring 2020 with large white flowers close to the foliage. The foliage looks rather like pine needles. This one now grows in the little gold wall rockery where it is recovering from the transplant as at August 2023.
