Light requirements depend on the subspecies in question
There are species such as the popular mossSaxifragethat are particularly clear about a place in the Penumbra and rejoice under the protective roof of a larger tree. In particular, the succulent species of the saxifrage are also suitable for one planting in full sun. In the spaces between rocky rock gardens and as hanging vegetation on dry stone walls, the saxifrage can be beautifully combined with the following plants:
- Cranesbill
- gentian
- Carnation
Avoid waterlogging as much as possible
As a rule, most of the varieties of saxifrage are hardy, however, there should be no persistent waterlogging at the planned location all year round. Heavy and loamy soils can be provided with better drainage by adding gravel and sand.
Tips
The saxifrage is not particularly sensitive to the respective substrate at the chosen location, whereby a nutrient-rich and humus-rich soil has a positive effect on growth. Acid soils should be prepared for the saxifrage by adding lime.
