Saxifraga Punctata Var. Pacifica

Saxifraga punctata var. pacifica is a low-growing perennial plant native to coastal regions of western North America. It is known for its distinctive rosette of fleshy, waxy leaves that range in color from green to reddish-purple. This hardy species thrives in rocky and sandy soils, often found along cliffs and shorelines. Its small, white flowers bloom in early spring, adding a delicate touch to its rugged habitat. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in stabilizing coastal ecosystems and supporting local wildlife.
