The detail
Bring vibrant colour to your garden with this set of three Saxifrage Ice Colours Red plants. Part of the popular Saxifraga × arendsii group, this mossy saxifrage produces a carpet of rich red flowers in spring, rising above a dense cushion of bright green, evergreen foliage. A reliable and hardy alpine perennial, it is ideally suited to rockeries, stone walls, gravel gardens, troughs, and the front of borders where it provides excellent ground cover throughout the year.
Each plant is supplied as a healthy 1Ltr root-ball, well-established and ready for planting out. Saxifrage Ice Colours Red is a low-maintenance variety that thrives in well-drained soil and will gradually spread to form a neat, weed-suppressing mat of foliage. Once established, it requires very little attention, making it a wonderful choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike.
