In Snyder you can determine when it's a good idea to plant saxifraga by checking out the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Saxifraga

Frost tolerance for saxifraga:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Saxifraga are barely cold tolerant which means that you can start planting them slightly earlier than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant saxifraga in Snyder is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant saxifraga and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your saxifraga may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your saxifraga indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
