Description
Saxifraga 'Peter Pan', a variety of Turkish carpet or Mossy saxifrage, is a true little gem for well-maintained rockeries or flowering pots in partial shade. This saxifrage forms a small evergreen cushion similar to moss. In spring, it is covered with a multitude of tiny blood-red flowers with a small yellow heart. This perennial plant loves crevices and spaces between slabs, as long as it finds moist soil.
'Peter Pan' belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. Its ancestors come from the mountains of the Northern Hemisphere. The growth rate of this small perennial is quite slow. Its adult size will not exceed 5cm (2in) in height, 15cm (6in) when in flower. 'Peter Pan' forms a small prostrate cushion-like clump. The foliage is composed of small rosettes of finely cut leaves, with a lovely mossy green colour. The flowering takes place in May-June, in the form of small single dark red cup-shaped flowers, which are delicately scented. They are carried by slender stems.
The 'Peter Pan' mossy saxifrage can be used to line paths and borders. It will thrive very well on embankments where grass is scarce. It can also replace the moss that invades a shaded end of a lawn. Simply dig out the moss and plant a carpet of saxifrages. For the same reason, this plant will serve as ground cover between shrubs and trees. A fantastic hiding place, it adapts without any difficulty to the poorest sandy soils or shady locations. It is highly valued in the most disadvantaged areas of the garden, such as northern or shaded exposures. It can also be used to camouflage a portion of soil where stones or construction waste have been buried.

Planting and care
Plant Saxifraga arendsii 'Peter Pan' in permeable and humus-rich, neutral or calcareous, and most importantly well-drained soil. In heavy soil, adding compost or potting soil is beneficial. This plant prefers a shady or semi-shady exposure and is sensitive to dry and hot conditions. It requires little maintenance, and faded flowers can be removed after flowering for a cleaner appearance. It is preferable 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).
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).
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.
