Saxifraga caespitosa Pink

Common Name: Tufted Saxifrage, Pink Tufted Saxifrage

Description:
Saxifraga caespitosa 'Pink' is a charming, low-growing perennial known for its delicate soft pink flowers that bloom in clusters from spring through early summer. This compact plant forms a dense, moss-like mat of evergreen foliage, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, alpine beds, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers well-drained soil and part shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler conditions. This resilient and low-maintenance plant is ideal for adding colour and texture to small spaces and works well as ground cover in crevices or between stepping stones. Regular deadheading will promote prolonged flowering, keeping gardens vibrant throughout the season.
