How to care for Saxifraga Alpino Red ('Saxz0014') (x arendsii):
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot, adding grit to improve drainage if needed. For container growing, use a loam-based compost like John Innes No.2, mixed with grit.
Trim back after flowering, avoiding autumn and spring. Water moderately when actively growing and avoid winter wet. A light top-dressing of sharp sand after flowering will promote tight clumps, and help with surface drainage in order to prevent root rot.
