Description
A somewhat hairy perennial, the leafless flowering stems usually growing singly from a rhizome, reaching 10-30 cm in height.
Leaves for a basal rosette, and have smooth margins, a visible center vein, and are rounded.[2]
The inflorescence is a short, compact panicle, subtended by a leafy, rusty-woolly bracts. The calyx is broadly conic, the 5 lobes oblong-lanceolate, 1-2 mm. long and reflexed. Individual flowers have 5 white, obovate petals, 1.5-3 mm. long, at least half as broad as long. Stamens number 10 and are short, awl-shaped.[3]
Ovaries are green and can turn red as fruit attached.[2]
Bloom Period
Late March - July[3]
Distribution
West side of the Cascades, British Columbia to Lincoln County, Oregon, and in the Columbia River Gorge[3]
Habitat
Prairies, grassy slopes and vernally moist areas, sea level to subalpine[3]
Swamp saxifrage prefers moister areas in prairies, such as near a stream or at the base of a tree.[2]
Uses
Used ornamentally in rock gardens
Propagation
Can be propagated by seed, division or cuttings.
Seed should be planted in winter and barely covered. Germination takes place in 1 to 3 months at 16-21°C
Division should be done after flowering.
Cuttings in should be taken in late summer.[4]
Seed
Average Measurement: 0.8 x 0.4 x 0.3
Measurement Range: L: 0.6 – 0.8, W: 0.2 – 0.5, D: 0.2 – 0.4
Features
Shape: Seed narrowed at hilum and opposite apex, forming points. Middle between hilum and opposite apex rounded. Hilum is puckered.
Color: Seeds golden brown, and slightly darker at hilum.
Surface: Seeds bumpy and longitudinally ridged. Seeds are slightly lustrous.
Latitudinal Cross Section: elliptical
