Saxifraga × arendsii HIGHLANDER™ ‘Rose’


Mossy Saxifrage

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.475.410


The Saxifrage include a huge number of alpines. This selection, part of the HIGHLANDER™ series, is a good choice for the partially shaded rock garden, wall garden or scree. Plants form low rosettes of green, mossy, bright green leaves, and in spring bear short stems of upfacing, 5 blunt petaled, rose flowers with a yellow eye. Requires a cool, moist location. Dislikes drought and hot humid summer weather. Trim lightly after blooming to remove the flower stems. Adapts well to growing in clay pots or alpine troughs. A light top-dressing of sand right after flowering will help to keep the clumps tight and free from root-rot.
