Saxifraga granulata
'Flore Pleno'
meadow saxifrage
Low-maintenance plants are the best kind, and Saxifraga granulata 'Flore Pleno' has long been a gardeners’ favourite for this very reason, providing gorgeous, low-level ground cover in a partially shaded spot with the very minimum of fuss. This humble plant has subtle looks and an unobtrusive nature, simply getting on with it throughout the year in its own delightful way. Just like the well-known ‘Flore Pleno’ snowdrop, this unusual saxifraga has elegant snowy-white double blooms which bear quite a striking resemblance – only this snowdrop doppelgänger has a summer flower instead! The evergreen rosette-like foliage is a feature in itself and serves as a fantastic year-round ground cover, ideally situated close to the front of the border or edging a shady bed.
Plant Saxifraga granulata 'Flore Pleno' in close groups and it will gradually spread out to fill its designated space. It also makes a very nice container plant, particularly so when planted in a wide, shallow stone pot. If you have a cool, shady rockery, this fabulous plant is an absolute essential!

Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
