Saxifraga Alpino Pink

Common Name: Alpino Pink Saxifrage

Description:
Saxifraga 'Alpino Pink' is a charming, low-growing perennial known for its delicate soft pink flowers that bloom prolifically from early spring through to summer. The flowers sit atop compact mounds of evergreen, moss-like foliage, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens, borders, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil and part shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler conditions. This hardy plant is excellent for adding texture and colour to alpine-style gardens and works well as a ground cover. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering, and its neat, compact form requires little maintenance.
