Purple Saxifrage 'Splendens'

A truly iconic alpine, 'Splendens' is an outstanding cultivar of the purple saxifrage, forming a tight, creeping mat of tiny, congested foliage that is literally smothered in vibrant magenta-pink flowers in early spring. It grows to just 2-5cm high, spreading to 15-20cm, making it perfect for alpine troughs or tight crevices. Fully hardy (H7), it requires full sun and very well-drained, gritty, alkaline soil. Its early, dazzling display makes it precious to alpine enthusiasts.
