Description
Saxifraga x arendsii 'Pixie' is a variety of saxifrage that forms a small evergreen moss-like cushion. In spring, it is covered with a multitude of tiny dark pink flowers. A little gem for well-maintained rockeries, in partial shade. This saxifrage thrives in crevices and spaces between paving stones, as long as it finds moist but well-drained soil.
Saxifrage 'Pixie' is one of many cultivars of Saxifraga x arendsii, which is itself a hybrid. It belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. This small perennial has a slow growth rate. Its mature size will not exceed 5 cm (2in) in height, 15 cm (6in) in flower. The 'Pixie' moss saxifrage forms a small prostrate tuft with a cushion-like habit that slowly spreads over time. The foliage is made up of small rosettes of finely cut leaves, with a lovely moss-green colour. The flowering takes place in May-June, with small, delicately scented, single dark pink flowers borne on slender stems.
'Pixie' can be used to line paths and borders, but can also be used for larger areas. For example, it will thrive very well on banks where grass is scarce. It can also replace moss that invades a shaded end of the lawn by digging up that area and planting a carpet of saxifrage. For the same reason, this plant can serve as ground cover between shrubs and trees. It adapts without any difficulty to the poorest sandy soil or shady locations. It proves to be valuable in the most challenging areas of the garden, such as in the shade or in the north. Use saxifrage to conceal a portion of soil where stones or construction waste have been buried. It also works well in a large container, for example.
These plants often grow in rock crevices. It has long been believed that this plant may have medicinal properties and can eliminate kidney stones. Within the rock garden family, the genus Saxifraga is a special category with more than 450 species. Saxifrages can reach the highest peaks of the highest mountains. In these inhospitable places, nature has created magicians of survival.

Planting and care
Plant Saxifraga arendsii 'Pixie' in permeable and humus-rich, neutral or calcareous, moist but well-drained soil. Adding compost or potting soil to heavy soil is beneficial. This plant prefers a shady or semi-shaded exposure and fears arid and scorching situations. It requires little maintenance, but care must be taken to weed around it because the aggressive competition of certain weeds and perennials is fatal to it. Faded flowers can be removed after flowering. This small perennial is best planted 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.
