Plant description
Saxifrage are a wonderful and diverse group of plants, and this collection is a great way to start off a collection. Each plant in the 6-pack is unnamed, but all six will be different. As they are all unlabelled however, we are not able to specify which ones will be sent out in a particular order. These are great little plants though, and they can either be potted up or planted out into an alpine bed. They can be planted between paving slabs, or gaps in dry stone walls, where their spring, summer or autumn flowers and attractive foliage will soften the hard lines.

How to care for Saxifraga collection:
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.
