Wim, I think this is a plant we used to call Saxifraga geum in the trade.
I havn't seen this for ages.
It was not a good seller........ not difficult enough to grow maybe?   ??? ::) ;D

Yeah,

Its been in the same spot for more than 15 years, it was never given any care and it keeps on growing...
so maybe it is too easy indeed  ;)  ;D
At first I tought it was Saxifraga x urbium but Saxifraga x geum is better I think.

Thanks
