Description
The Mossy Saxifrages or Saxifraga from this collection are captivating due to the diversity of their colours and their ease of cultivation. Among them are the excellent varieties of Saxifraga 'Ware's Crimson', 'Peter Pan', and 'Purpurteppich'. All of these plants offer a generous flowering period between April and May and July, depending on the climate. They form small cushion-like clumps, and their evergreen foliage is also an asset during winter. Resistant to temperatures as low as -15°C, these plants particularly thrive in partially shaded and slightly moist rockeries.
The collection consists of:
1 x Mossy Saxifrage 'Ware's Crimson': This variety stands out with its colour-changing flowers ranging from bright red to purplish pink and white. It reaches a height of approximately 10 cm.
1 x Mossy Saxifrage 'Peter Pan': With its dark red flowers that fade to a pale pink, this plant adds a touch of purity to the garden. It can reach a height of 8 to 10 cm.
1 x Mossy Saxifrage 'Purpurteppich': With flowers in shades of purple, this variety grows to a height of 10 to 15 cm.
The ideal planting period for these Mossy Saxifrages is early spring, in March. They can be used in rockeries, as ground cover, to border a gravel path, or even in pots. Well-drained, light soil where water does not stagnate is essential. They will not thrive in very dry soils or under scorching sun. Place 'Purpurteppich', which is slightly taller, at the back of your composition. Plan for 9 to 12 plants per square metre, with a distance of 20 to 30 cm between each plant.
The Mossy Saxifrages from this collection pair well with the 'Palace Purple' Heuchera with its magnificent purple foliage. The 'Rozanne' Geranium with its long-lasting blue flowering will also complement the colour palette very well. Place it behind the saxifrages. Finally, to add variety to the textures, mix in the small fern 'Crispa' Scaly Male Fern in your composition.

Planting and care
Plant Saxifraga in permeable and humus-bearing soil, neutral or chalky, and above all well-drained (no stagnant water). In heavy soil, adding compost or potting soil is beneficial. This plant prefers a semi-shaded exposure, it is sensitive to arid and scorching conditions. It requires little maintenance, faded flowers can be removed after flowering for a cleaner look. It is best to plant this small perennial in March.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
