{"product_id":"saxifraga-red-cap","title":"Saxifraga ‘Red Cap’ (9cm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSaxifraga ‘Red Cap’ makes a rich spring accent with red flowers held above a compact cushion of green foliage. The low growth keeps the display close to the ground, so it is best placed where neighbouring plants will not hide it. A trough or raised rockery brings the flowers into view and makes the plant's small scale part of its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as a pocket of colour between stones or group it with paler saxifrages for a simple spring display. A cool site with light shade helps the foliage stay fresh, especially in summer. Unlike a succulent houseleek, this saxifrage appreciates moisture around its roots, together with good drainage. Water during dry spells, avoid leaving the crown in soggy soil and remove faded stems once flowering has finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich spring colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood scale for a trough\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 Red\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Months\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEventual Height × Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–15 × 20–25 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easter Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49030161924423,"sku":"1111203","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/il_570xN.3579678692_91tp.webp?v=1706805995","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/en-gb\/products\/saxifraga-red-cap","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
