I bought this from Crug Farm last year. Bleddyn asked me if I wanted the Chinese or the Himalayan form. I asked what the difference was and he said 'The Himalayan form is rubbish'. The reddish flowers are Eupatorium maculatum Atropurpureum
Saxifraga merkii var. idsuroei in Mount Tsurugi (Hida Mountains), Kamiichi, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
The native range of Saxifraga rufescens is Tibet, Sichuan, west Hubei, Yunnan in China to Myanmar. In 2024, it was also recorded in Nagaland for the first time.
