 I got this plant as a clone in 1995 from an arctic-alpine botanical garden here in Germany. I don't know the origin; the garden only gave the information Range: Alaska.
 It has grown for a long time in my garden and has no problems. Its a male plant; catkins are rare and it grows slowly. It's about 100 cm tall now.

 Natural History of Iceland
 Image author: Dick Viujk ©
 Cushion of flowering plants. There are many saxifrage species on Iceland. The tufted saxifrage is one of the most common saxifrages. It grows all over Iceland, especially between stones and rocky areas. Characteristic for this species are the small rosettes and leafy flowering stems. Also characteristic is that the flowering shoots only bear one or two flowers.
