Early Saxifrage

Micranthes virginiensis

One of Ontario's earliest spring wildflowers, its white flower clusters emerge in March through May, often while snow is still on the ground.

  • Rosette-forming, low-growing plant that thrives on rocky outcrops and cliff faces
  • Among the first native wildflowers to provide nectar for early-emerging pollinators
  • Thrives in well-drained, rocky soils with part shade to full sun
  • Excellent for rock gardens and naturalized woodland edge settings
