Bring soft, delicate colour to your garden with this set of three Saxifrage Ice Colours Appleblossom plants. Part of the popular Saxifraga × arendsii Ice Colours series, 'Appleblossom' produces an abundance of dainty, pale pink flowers above neat, compact cushions of evergreen foliage. These hardy alpine perennials are perfect for adding long-lasting interest to rockeries, troughs, stone walls, and border edges.

Each plant is supplied as a well-established 1 litre root-ball, ready to plant out or pot on. The tight, moss-like rosettes of bright green leaves provide year-round ground cover, while the charming appleblossom-pink blooms appear in profusion during spring, creating a carpet of colour that looks stunning in any alpine or cottage-style setting.

Saxifrage is a wonderfully low-maintenance choice, thriving in free-draining soil and requiring very little attention once established. These plants are fully hardy and well suited to the UK climate, performing reliably year after year.
