Description
Saxifraga ‘Marto Red’ is a charming, compact, mound-forming perennial that produces a mass of delicate flower sprays, creating a real feature in the garden throughout spring. Its early blooms bring colour and interest just when the garden is waking up after winter.
Flowering from March into early summer, this lovely little plant is ideal for rockeries, borders, alpine gardens and patio pots, where its neat habit and abundance of flowers can really shine.
Saxifraga grows best in full sun to partial shade, ideally with morning sunshine and some afternoon shade. It prefers well-drained soil that remains lightly moist, but dislikes sitting in waterlogged conditions. Take particular care during winter, when excess moisture can cause problems for the roots.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Saxifraga ‘Marto Red’ is a wonderful choice for adding long-lasting seasonal interest without demanding too much attention.
