The detail
Saxifrage Marto Rose is a charming mossy saxifrage that produces a profusion of delicate pink flowers above dense cushions of bright green, finely divided evergreen foliage. This hardy alpine perennial is an excellent choice for rockeries, stone walls, troughs, gravel gardens and as low-growing ground cover. Its compact, mat-forming habit creates a carpet of colour in spring, softening hard edges and filling gaps between paving or stones with ease.
This listing is for a set of three established plants, each supplied in a 1 litre pot with a well-developed root ball, ready for planting out or potting on.
