Chrysosplenium oppositifolium (opposite-leaved golden-saxifrage) is primarily pollinated by small flies and beetles attracted to its nectar-producing, bright yellow flowers, which bloom early in the season. It is a self-fertile, mat-forming perennial.
Golden-saxifrage is found throughout Ireland beside shady streams and in damp woodland and is a mat-forming perennial wildflower which forms a carpet of low-growing yellow-green vegetation.
Pair with delicate ferns to provide structural contrast, as the saxifrage forms a low carpet. Hostas large, bold foliage contrasts well with the fine texture of golden-saxifrage. Moisture-loving perennials like Epilobium hirsutum (Great Willowherb) and Valeriana officinalis (Common Valerian) are often found in similar wet habitats.Groundcover companions would be mosses and low-growing, damp-shade plants like Sibthorpia europaea.
