Saxifraga stolonifera is part of the Saxifragaceae family and is native to Asia. Although this plant looks similar to Begonia and Geranium, they are not related. Saxifraga puts out little stolons (“a creeping horizontal plant stem or runner that takes root at points along its length to form new plants” - https://www.lexico.com/) which grow small plantlets. Leaves are kidney shaped and furry.
