Description
Saxifrage arendsii 'Purpurteppich' is a lovely small evergreen cushion, which is covered with a multitude of purple-pink flowers in spring. It will enhance rockeries in light sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil.
As its name suggests, this variety belongs to the Saxifragaceae family. Its evergreen foliage, with small rosettes of dentate bright green leaves, gives it its common name of mossy saxifrage. The plant forms a cute little cushion, which slowly spreads by forming lateral rosettes 5cm (2in) tall and 20cm (8in) wide. Between April and May, this little dome is covered with purple-pink flowers, which envelope the foliage for a few weeks.
A fan of moist rockeries, Saxifrage 'Purpurteppich' requires rich and humus-rich substrate. It can creep into crevices or gaps in paving. It will not be comfortable in very dry soils or under scorching sun.
Planted en masse, it can line the edge of a gravel path. It can also be perfectly grown in a pot, following the same conditions as in open ground: light, moist but well-draining substrate. It can be planted with other perennials requiring the same conditions, such as some ferns (Phyllitis scolopendrium, Cheilanthes lanosa) or even with Alchemilla erythropoda, and of course with other varieties of mossy saxifrages such as 'Pixie' or 'Peter Pan'.

Planting and care
Plant in permeable and humus-rich, neutral or limestone, well-drained soil. Adding compost or potting soil to heavy soil is beneficial. This plant prefers a semi-shaded exposure and is sensitive to dry and scorching conditions. It requires little maintenance. Faded flowers can be removed after flowering for a cleaner appearance. It is best 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.
