Saxifraga granulata Meadow Saxifrage C DD N
This May flowering native grows in clumps and is quite common in Cressbrookdale. At first i used to find it in clumps of no more than about twelve but venturing much further a field during the Foot and Mouth crisis of 2001, I also came across huge numbers of this delightful lowland Saxifrage at Abermenai point near Newborough warren on Anglesey.
Saxifraga granulata is a plant of base rich soils and is found in much of England, Wales and southern Scotland. It is rare in Ireland.
