Description
Saxifrage fortunei 'Beni Tsukasa' is distinguished by its beautiful red flowering at the end of the season. Its asymmetrical and delicately fringed flowers bloom for several weeks on glossy foliage at a time of year when flowers are rare in the garden. Native to the undergrowth of Japan, this small perennial is a remarkable cool shade plant. Plant it near to the house so that you can admire it up close, or better yet, grow it in the Japanese way: in bowls placed near the house at the time of flowering.
Saxifraga fortunei belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. It is a species very close to S. cortusifolia. This small plant develops a rosette of large deciduous leaves measuring 20cm (8in) in diameter. They are thick, rounded, lobed, dentate, and glossy, measuring about 8cm (3in) in diameter and are carried by a long petiole. The flowering plant will reach approximately 30cm (12in) in height and 20cm (8in) in spread. The rounded and lobed foliage of this variety is particularly wide. Its colour is a bright and vivid green. From September until the first cold weather, 10cm (4in) long panicles emerge from the tuft of leaves, well clear of the foliage. They bear very pretty asymmetric flowers, measuring 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, formed by short upper petals and longer lower petals, fringed at the edges, giving the corolla a lot of charm and lightness. Their colour is a deep and vivid red. The small heart of the flower is equally bright yellow. Lean in a little closer to discover their delicate fragrance.
Saxifrage 'Beni Tsukasa' thrives in light, humus-rich, moist and well-drained soil in semi-shade or total shade. These conditions can be found in a moist, shaded rockery, on the edge of damp undergrowth, or near a north-facing façade, in well-drained soil. It can also be planted at the base of deciduous trees or shrubs, taking care to remove dead leaves that could cover the plant in autumn. It also makes lovely borders, decorates walls, and enhances shaded areas of a patio. Dwarf hostas, Japanese ferns (Athyrium niponicum var. pictum), bellflowers, and Veronica umbrosa will be good companions for this extremely refined small perennial.
NOTE: This is a rather delicate plant that should be reserved for experienced gardeners. Plant Saxifrage 'Beni Tsukasa' in any light, moist, slightly acidic soil, without excess limestone. This perennial does not tolerate heavy, wet soils in winter, nor calcareous and dry soils in summer.

Planting and care
Plant from September to March, 9 plants per m², in a well-draining and rich mixture of ericaceous soil, pumice, and garden soil. It thrives in moist and humus-rich soils found in mountain woodlands and does not tolerate excessive winter moisture or summer drought. However, it can tolerate root competition from trees and bushes as long as the soil does not dry out in summer. Choose a semi-shaded to shaded position, always keeping it moist. If planted at the base of deciduous trees or bushes, remove any fallen autumn leaves covering the clump. It is susceptible to attacks from aphids, gastropods, and vine weevils.

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.
