{"product_id":"saxifraga-alpino-early-rose","title":"Saxifraga Alpino ‘Early Rose’ (9cm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSaxifraga Alpino ‘Early Rose’ brings a welcome flush of rose-pink flowers to the spring garden. Fine stems lift the blooms above a low cushion of closely packed foliage, creating a miniature flowering mound that can be appreciated close up. Its compact scale makes it especially useful where larger perennials would overwhelm a small planting pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it in an alpine trough, at the front of a raised bed or between stones with enough soil for the roots to establish. The pink flowers make a pretty partner for white-flowered saxifrages and small spring bulbs. Choose a cool position with light shade, particularly during the hottest part of the day, and give it soil that holds some moisture but drains readily. Water in dry spells and tidy away faded flower stems after the spring display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly spring flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow cushion habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits between stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: choose a cool spot in light shade, protected from hot afternoon sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: use a moisture-retentive but very well-drained growing medium; grit helps water drain away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatering: keep the roots lightly moist during dry spells, especially in small containers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter care: make sure drainage stays clear and avoid water collecting around the crown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter flowering: snip off faded flower stems to leave the cushion tidy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose pink\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Months\u003c\/strong\u003e March–May\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEventual Height × Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–15 × 20–30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easter Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46454180643143,"sku":"1122984","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/fc0c21.jpg?v=1689327857","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/en-gb\/products\/saxifraga-alpino-early-rose","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
