Saxifrage

Saxifrage are known for their ability to thrive in rocky and alpine habitats, flourishing where other plants might struggle. They typically feature rosettes of leaves and bear small, star-shaped flowers, often clustered together, which attract a variety of pollinators. Their root systems are adept at cracking through stones, which helps in nutrient absorption from scant soil.
