JohnnyD:
Saw this in the alpine house at Harlow Carr on Saturday but no label and no idea - even from the RHS guy.
Suggestions were - Heuchera or Saxifraga fortunei.
Does any one recognize this beauty?

A plant which I discover is also called  the Hi No Mai Velvet Saxifrage - which certainly relates to the foliage of the  plant  seen at Harlow Carr.......

arisaema:
I don't know the Japanese cultivar, but this looks an awful lot like the most common alpine species in Yunnan: Saxifraga rufescens. It's spring flowering, bone hardy, and usually has red markings on foliage as well as furry, red pedicels.
