Saxifraga x arendsii Touran™ Red

Saxifraga × arendsii Touran™ ‘Red’ is a modern and compact variety from the Saxifragaceae family, part of the Touran™ series, known for its abundant flowering and tidy bush shape. It is a low-growing perennial plant, highly valued in alpine gardens, borders, rockeries, and pots, due to its intense red flowers and dark green decorative foliage.

🔹 Botanical characteristics:

• Habit: a low and compact plant, forming a dense, rounded bush. Height reaches 10–15 cm, and the bush diameter extends up to 25–30 cm, depending on growing conditions.

• Leaves: small, green, deeply lobed (finely divided), with a moss-like appearance. They form a dense and decorative green carpet all year round.

• Flowers: appear in spring, on thin, upright stems above the foliage. They are bright red, with 5 rounded petals and a subtle yellow center. The flowers are small but numerous, covering the entire plant during the flowering period (March–May).

🔹 Recommended growing conditions:

• Light: prefers partial shade or half sun. In milder climates, it can also tolerate direct sun, especially in the morning.

• Soil: well-drained, loose, with neutral to slightly acidic pH. Ideal for rock gardens, slightly sandy or stony soils.

• Watering: moderate. The soil should be watered regularly during warm periods but allowed to dry slightly between waterings. Does not tolerate waterlogging.

• Hardiness: a hardy plant, frost-resistant, tolerating temperatures down to about -20°C, if the soil is well drained.

Saxifraga can slightly change the shade of its flowers depending on light, temperature, flower age, and soil conditions. The base color remains the same, but the intensity may vary.
