Saxifraga fortunei 'Wada'

By Siris


Saxifraga fortunei  'Wada' (Saxifraga fortunei)

This Saxifrage is always reliable and flowers well. I lost S. 'Cheap Confection' last winter.

Oh I do like these. I have two fortunii and love 'em!
Especially as they flower now when most things are giving up.

Stera and Gg, I have had this over 20 years, it never fails to put on a good display. Last year I divided it drastically, gave a lot away and also put some in the very dry front garden as a trial. That is doing well also.

This is new to me to its so pretty one for my list , I like the fact that its happy in the shade and a dry area ....

Amy, I would not put it in dry shade, don't think it would like that.
Dd, I lost S. Cheap Confections, a biggish fortunei, last winter, but still have the really small Mount Nachi. I tried to divide Nachi last year, but nothing to divide despite having it for many years.

We eventually lost Mount Nachi, planted it out too soon...Amy they like really damp conditions....

You can just see the tatty leaves of a Hosta on the left, same moisture level.

Mine are in dry shade Siris - underneath a Magnolia stellata with very low branches. Many of the tree roots are just below soil level so it is pretty dry, though I added something better to the planting holes they weren't very big holes. Must remember to mulch.
Hobson's choice here as there isn't any moist shade.

These are incredible autumn plants aren't they. Sadly they don't much care for the East Coast of Scotland I find. They survive and they grow really well, but they don't flower until it's too late (November) and then the frost sends the whole lot black. Pity as they would really light up my autumn garden.

I made that mistake with three I bought a few years ago dry shade they soon bit the dust !!, Yours is in a much better spot Siris among the rocks near the waterfall but no grit in the hole like the other plants the soil is improved heavy clay it has shade from a nearby tree so fingers crossed .

Inspiring! Off to the GC today to look at Saxifrages:)

Sheila, look for the S, fortunei ( from Japan originally) not the encrusted Saxifrages, which do need dry conditions. S. fortunei rubrifolia is another reliable one.

Thanks Siris . . . my first 'port of call' didn't have ANY, so I'll try elsewhere in the next day or so.
