Description
Saxifraga x arendsii Rockery Hybrids Mix forms a small evergreen cushion of 25 cm in all directions. In spring, it is covered with a multitude of small white, pink or carmine flowers. This perennial plant is perfect for bringing life to a rockery, a border, a bed or even a planter. Easy to grow and hardy, it appreciates light sun or partial shade in soil that remains moist, rich, humus-bearing and non-acidic. It is ideally sown in spring under shelter.
From the Saxifragaceae family, Saxifraga x arendsii is a complex hybrid developed by Arends Nurseries in Germany, near Cologne, from species of Saxifraga originating from the Far North. The Rockery Hybrids Mix selection is appreciated for its compact habit (it does not exceed 25 cm in all directions) and its floribundity. The mossy saxifrage is so named due to its compact tufted habit forming like a small evergreen cushion. It is very useful in rockeries or for creating small flowering borders. Its foliage consists of rosettes of bright green leaves, 2 to 4 cm in diameter. Between April and June, numerous small flowers with 5 rounded petals, 1 to 2 cm in diameter, bloom abundantly, completely covering the foliage. This mix consists of white, pink, and carmine flowers.
The mossy saxifrage is able to creep into crevices or paving joints. When planted en masse, it can serve as a ground cover or fill the edge of a bed. Cultivation in a pot is entirely possible. In a rockery, pair it with Campanula Carpatica with blue flowers or the Hardy Geranium Jolly Jewel Violet with violet flowers and a purple heart. In a container, consider Heuchera Pink Panther with pink-purple foliage and Muehlenbeckia complexa with trailing habit.

Planting and care
Sow Saxifraga x arendsii Rockery Hybrids Mix in spring or autumn under cover, or indoors all year round. The ideal germination temperature is 15 to 20°C and germination can occur between 21 and 30 days. Sow your seeds on the surface of a light seed compost and keep it moist. When your seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into a pot. Allow for 15 days of hardening before planting them in the garden, once all risk of frost has passed. If germination has not occurred after 60 days, you can place your trays at 4°C for 3 to 4 weeks and then return them to a warm place to stimulate seed germination.
Mossy saxifrage is an easy plant that thrives in rich, humus-bearing, non-drying out, well-drained, and non-acidic soil. In heavy soil, add compost or potting soil. Place it in the sun (not scorching) or partial shade. Simply remove faded flowers regularly to prolong flowering.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
