Saxifraga x arendsii Rockery Hybrids mix seeds

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.
